I specialize in using DADGAD tuning both live and in my own studio and have recorded and produced many award winning albums such as David Power's "My Love Is In America", David's album with Willie Kelly, "Apples in Winter", The Yanks first album, Mike Rafferty's "Speed 78", all Jameson's Revenge albums, Gailfean's first album, and many others.
