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.
Their followup CD, "Another Long Dangerous Year" contains the same energy and
humor as the first, adding David to the mix for the first time. Even more high energy,
with a rich sound and contemporary take on the traditional Irish music, this CD was a
fast seller and a strong fan favorite
Recently Three Pints Shy has recorded their newest CD, "The Burlap Album", a
combination of tradition and original, the group takes on familiar tunes as well as
showcasing the newly created material for their CD. Modern studio style, recorded for
your local, this album certainly feels like the band you are about to hear.

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 lucha libre, circumlocution, the Arsenal
FC, his wife Karen, his son Brennan, daughter Grayson, 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!!!

Visit www.themookbrothers.com and see! He is very proud to be working with the
spectacularly talented lunatics of Three Pints Shy. 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 two
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.
