This Grammy-nominated Irish American super group was formed in New York City in 1985 to celebrate the rise of women in what had been a male-dominated Irish music scene, and they have since toured the world performing in the finest performing arts centers and festivals, played the White House and the Olympics, recorded 18 critically acclaimed albums, and released an Emmy award winning PBS television program, “An Irish Homecoming”.
Under the leadership of the 2021 National Endowment for the Arts National Heritage Fellow and All-Ireland flute and whistle champion Joanie Madden, these women put forth an incredible experience that includes masterful music, song and dance that is brimming with sheer talent.
