Lincoln Schofield is proud to present rising stars of the New York City music scene, Celtic music band, Three Pints Shy featuring David Anthony (Rising Sun Performance Company). Founded is 2003, Three Pints Shy has become a raucous pub band, updating and reinvigorating the celtic music so beloved all around the world.

Kin to the legendary folk singers, The Carter Family, David Anthony explores his grandfather's, sister's husband's roots in Three Pints Shy, the most successful and appealing hybrid of Irish Pub Singing Drunkards and Boy Band that exists in the world today. When not singing with Three Pints Shy for the masses in the States and crown princes of Europe, David produces theatre for The Rising Sun Performance Company (www.risingsunnyc.com) and works as a freelance photographer.

Stemming from the traditions of Tommy Makem and The Clancey Brothers, Three Pints Shy first appeared at the New York Renaissance Festival in Tuxedo, NY. Our group members are David Anthony, Chant Macleod, Tim Ott, Rob Pedini, Jonathan Siregar, and Robbi Taylor. Preferring the enjoyment of music and drinking, the group is influenced by all Irish drinking songs. Three Pints Shy performs with a high-energy style, creating an appeal to a younger audience, creating a fanatical audience reaction that grows with every song. But they are not beyond the touching ballads of the Emerald Isle, enamouring their fans with their gentle harmonies.

Their first CD, "Waking the Dead" is made to capture their live performance energy. Each song is a lively and fun affair, performed as if tailor made for the pubs of Dublin. Each of the songs, recorded in May 2005 in Engishtown, NJ, captures their love of this music, as well as their humorous performances and amazing energy.
