One of the most popular American-Irish bands playing today, Grammy-nominated super group Cherish the Ladies formed in New York City in 1985 to celebrate the rise of extraordinary women in what had been a male-dominated Irish music scene.

Cherish the Ladies has played alongside such prominent names as James Taylor, The Clancy Brothers, Emmy Lou Harris, The Chieftains, and Joan Baez, earning its own distinction along the way. This show will provide a spectacular blend of virtuoso instrumental talents, beautiful vocals, captivating arrangements, and stunning step dancing. It’s no surprise that Cherish the Ladies is one of the top Celtic groups in the world with a sound the New York Times calls “passionate, tender, and rambunctious,”.
