Brendan McFarland Sings at The Kicking Donkey in Cloverdale

The Kicking Donkey, Home of Cloverdale's Open Microphone Night
every Wednesday Evening.

Come join us for Open Microphone Night on Wednesday at The Kicking Donkey in Cloverdale. Enjoy their non alcoholic speciality - Fizzy Lemonade. I'm known for saying, "It gets right up my nose," after a glass or two. It brings a round of polite laughter from the table.
The vocal talent on a Wednesday night ranges from the ear shattering to somewhat digestible to relatively decent. You'll get a real treat this Wednesday. Brendan McFarland will be there while his dad enjoys a pint or two with his mates from work. After Brendan, I plan on singing my favorite songs from the Middle Ages including "Et Terra Pax Dominicant". Its a real knee slapper when sung in latin.

Try as I might to overthrow him (even after spending exorbitant amounts of money on voice lessons) little Brendan will steal the show. He enjoys singing. His favorite country artist is Hank Williams. Brendan usually sings every other Wednesday for Open Microphone Night if his mother gives permission. That permission depends on the following:

  1. His Homework is done.
  2. His Chores are finished.
  3. He hasn't fought with his brothers and sisters.
  4. He practiced the piano a full 30 minutes.
 After a quick game of darts, Brendan and his dad enjoy the long walk home. Sometimes they make a quick stop at the PiggyMart. Brendan loves his cherry slurpees.
Brendan is available to sing for birthdays, funerals, company events, weddings and bar mitzvahs.

  1. Hi

    Brendan here. Can't wait for my next visit to The Kicking Donkey. Last time was great. You sang "Et Terra Pax Dominicant" with so much passion. You should have won. But I did, na na na na na.

    Off now, dads taking me to PiggyMart for a cherry slurppe, or maybe a coke float.

    See you soon
    Brendan

    P.S
    where's my prize money???

  8. I was just recently introduced to Brendan's voice. I wish I had heard him before my Dad passed away March 4th, 2009. He too was a fan of Hank Williams. He would have been in awe of Brendan's voice. He loved to hear children sing. When my Dad would come visit I'd show him videos of his favorite music and I'd also make him copy's of his favorite songs to play while he's driving. I miss my Dad. I would think of him as Brendan sings one of his favorites "Lost on the River."

  11. I don't know what happened, but every video of this kid singing has been or is being deleted from the web. Even his dad's YouTube site no longer exists, so I guess he was a very very bad boy and his career is over, because without exposure, how will anyone be able to discover his talent now?
