To save your time and mine I usually send a minimum $200. quote adjusted up for extended time or travel. But don't let that discourage you because I am open to discussion. Sometimes I just want to do your type of event. I once drove from Maine to Georgia to perform for $50 and southern BBQ, so hit me up.

Loved the Dragon!

The dragon was awesome. He sounded great, he was professional, on time and even played a little longer for us. The guests loved him too. I would recommend him and welcome him back to Fox Creek Tavern anytime.

A Dragon In Rumford (Irish Music On Independence Day)

The vocals and mic’d acoustic guitar of C.A. “Dragon Of” Wortley rolled across the grass and track of Hosmer Field, and into the nearby trees and river on a long awaited fourth of July celebration.

C.A. 's voice and guitar put a new (to me) spin on many of my favorite Irish ballads and made many of the classic hymns her own story in an amazing way. Not only did C.A. play one of my favorite ditties, “Fiddler's Green'' in an amazing way, but also took requests for a song or two to learn for future gigs.

If you have become jaded by the same old singer and the same old song with the same old instruments and arrangements, don’t go listen to a top 40’s cover band, country or rock, check out C.A. Wortley!
