I'm 19 I am of the male gender my name is Avery LeVine I am currently in school at Dublin Institute of Technology, studying Irish Music. Currently home on summer break outside of Portland, Oregon (Tigard if you know where that is). I play Flute and Whistle usually, but when I don't really know a tune well I pull out the Bouzouki and play some form of Rhythmic Harmony. Sometimes I play a couple tunes on the regular Mandolin as well. My other hobbies include smoking bowls, chillaxin, actin the shite, Pints of Guinness or Bulmers, and I have been known to read a bit when not smoking bowls. Of course I spend a lot of time in front of the TV, but that is a love/hate relationship.
I pretty much just listen to ITM ranging from pure drop to jazzy I would say may favorite bands/groups are: Danu, Lunasa, Bohola, Shooglenifty, Flook, Dervish, Martin Hayes & Dennis Cahill, and Teada. I consider these artists my biggest influences; Kevin Crawford, Martin Hayes, Michael McGoldrick, Matt Molloy,Tom Doorley, and Brian Finnegan. Of course bigger influences would be my teachers Peter Browne and Kieran Hanrahan.
When not playing or listening to trad I listen to or play Jazz. Usually on Mandolin or Octave Mandolin, but sometimes I will play a tune on Flute or Whistle if I have the right key instrument and the tune doesn't have too many chromatics. Django Reinhardt and Thelonious Monk are my favorite jazz musicians.
I am not an expert and do not claim to be one. If my 'attitude' gets on your nerves, get over it I am only some jackass on the internet and from my point of view so are you.
