Starring Andy Cooney

Also featuring Celtic Folk Artist Kate Purcell,

and special guest Ireland's New King of Blarney George Casey, with Darrah Carr Dance

 

Andy Cooney with his outstanding voice and dynamic stage presence has always been a favorite among American and Irish audiences everywhere. His talent and versatility provide the ability to deliver a song directly to the hearts of his audience. Being christened “Irish America’s Favorite Son” by The New York Times , is a title he truly deserves. Andy Cooney and his guests will entertain their audiences with a celebration of happiness that makes memories last forever.

 

Featured in Andy ’s concerts will be The King of Blarney , George Casey . Direct from the west of Ireland, George has proved over the span of his 30-year career that his self-deprecating sense of humor and harmless barbs play well to any audience. George has performed at Caesars Palace, The Sahara, and is a regular act at The Riviera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. George now lives in Branson MO, where he works regularly with many renowned stars. He has also many times been featured on tour with Bobby Vinton.

 

Forever Irish will also feature Kate Purcell , one of Ireland’s foremost folk artists. Her fresh and engaging way with a song will immediately capture and thrill the audience. Growing up with musicians such as Fiddle virtuoso Martin Hayes , as neighbors, Kate ’s early influences were mainly Irish Folk. She also developed a love for contemporary styles particularly a blend of Blues and American Country. She has played extensively around Ireland at venues ranging from Arts Centres to major Concert Halls and has opened for, and played with, most of the major acts on the Irish touring circuit.

 

Darrah Carr Dance will be on this tour. The past decade has seen an explosion of popularity for Irish dance. These exciting dancers are sure to dazzle the audience with traditional Irish step and contemporary modern dance, a great combination providing a meeting place for the cultures of Ireland and America.

 

Andy also surrounds himself with the finest musicians lead by Musical Director Brian Moran , a most accomplished musician from New York. Andy ’s band will feature Mitch Reilly on flute and whistles, percussionist Jimmy Kelly and guitarist Colm Graham .

 

Come enjoy the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day as Andy Cooney and his bright stars celebrate being Irish in the best country in the entire world.
