My name is Blake Ritter, i live in Arcata, Ca, among the beautifull redwoods. I've been playing the violin for most my life (20 years now). I've had the good fortune of of visiting ireland three times now, once earning a medal in the senior all ireland competition. I trully love the music of ireland, and i hope it comes through in my playing. Hopefully you will enjoy some of these videos, most are over a year old now, and i intend on adding more soon.

I'm sure we'll have tunes at some point again in the future!
You might not remember me but we had some tunes (I play banjo) on a bench in Tullamore at the All-Ireland Fleadh (2007 I think). I joined you after the guitar player you were with had broken a string with no replacement!
