Three Pints Shy   BIOS Founded in 2003, THREE PINTS SHY has become a raucous pub band, updating and reinvigorating the Celtic music so beloved all around the world.  Stemming from the traditions of Tommy Makem and The Clancy 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 Robbie 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 Englishtown, NJ, captures their love of this music, as well as their humorous performances and amazing energy.       David Anthony - Kin to the legendary folk singers, The Carter Family, David 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. He also likes kittens or puppies, whichever happens to be your favorite. . Chant Macleod - Chant Macleod has been working as a writer, actor, and musician for longer than you’ve been reading this biography. He has been seen in such diverse places as pubs, clubs, tubs, and Japan, where he was, in fact, big. When not touring the globe with Three Pints Shy, Chant can been found in New York City performing in various theatrical projects, as well as his critically-acclaimed solo acoustic shows.  In his spare time, he enjoys bear-bating, mastication, regaling all and sundry with his font of useless trivia knowledge, his wife Karen, his baby Brennan, and stuff. Tim Ott - Tim has been singing almost as long as he's been talking.  He grew up in choirs, including the Saint Louis Symphony Children's Choir and the Saint Louis African Chorus, despite his pale complexion.  Upon graduating High School he moved to NYC where he graduated from a musical theater conservatory to hold the prestigious position as one of very few straight men in the field. Aside from his love of music he enjoys video games, soda, computers, breakfast foods, Taco Bell, Lego People, and long walks on the beach. He has a loving and supportive family, including his mother who always seems to be slightly more famous than he is.   He resides in Harlem with his three roommates. He promises to wash the dishes soon. THREE PINTS RULES!!! Rob Pedini - Rob is a working Actor in NYC, making his living performing in every medium; theatre, film, episodic television, commercials and voiceovers. He has acted, written and directed with performance companies such as The Metropolitan Playhouse, The New York Renaissance Festival, The Jekyll & Hyde Club, The Brothers Grinn, New York Dinner Theatre, Murder to Go and The Golden Age Vaudeville Ensemble.

Visit www.themookbrothers.com and see! He is very proud to be working with the spectacularly talented lunatics of Three Pints Shy. Rob lives in NY with his beautiful wife, Cat and their wonderful daughter Gracie. Hey Hor Hootie Ha! Jonathan Siregar - Jonathan is the founder of Three Pints Shy, making the group come together on a whim of an artistic director, and the name suggested by the musical director of the New York Renaissance Festival.  He was assigned to be the director, having no musical knowledge, experience, or the slightest clue as to what he was doing, so he relied on his able-minded crew around him to aid him in developing the band.  So thanks to many different people making him look good, people have touted him as a genius, which they couldn't be further from the truth.  In addition to Three Pints Shy, he has tried to make a career with theatre, writing, painting, cartooning, and food preparation.  None of which have turned out well.   So why not try musician?   Jonathan resides in Brooklyn, with his lovely wife Maya, his son Christopher and three cats, who are more talented than he. Robbie Taylor - Robbie Taylor is a professional actor, sometimes singer, sometimes dancer. You may have seen him at places like Paper Mill Playhouse, Portland Stage Company, The National Black Theatre Festival, The American Globe, or La MaMa. You might have seen him in the History Channel special Honor Deferred. More likely though, you know him from your local bar. He’s the guy a couple of stools down talking loudly about absolutely nothing.
