Arthur has been a singer, guitarist, percussionist, and songwriter for Celtic-American folk rock band Emerald Rose since 1996; his major instrument for the band is the bodhran, or traditional Irish frame drum. Being a singer-songwriter, however, has been part of his musical life since he was a teenager, and his solo endeavors return to this root. Many of his songs take their inspiration from the mystical path, Earth-centered spirituality, and Celtic mythology. He also continues to sing songs from the Celtic and American folk traditions. In addition, he's a storyteller, stage magician, and former actor and dancer, so he has many performance skills to draw on.
