Millions of music lovers have become devoted fans of the all-female Irish group called Celtic Woman. Celtic Woman had their famous debut in 2004 at the Helix Theatre in Dublin, Ireland. This sold-out performance was simultaneously broadcast all across the USA on PBS. Right after that show, Celtic Woman fever spread all across America. Since that time, these Irish vocalists have performed to packed audiences in the USA, Europe, South Africa, South Korea, Japan, and China. Although these singers specialize in traditional Irish folk music, they also sing a wide variety of contemporary hits. Since this group was officially formed, they have released over ten critically and commercially successful CDs. It was estimated that over 10 million Celtic Woman albums and DVDs have been sold as of today.
The current singers in Celtic Woman are Mirad Carlin, Susan McFadden, abha McMahon, and Tara McNeill. All of these Irish women have powerful vocals, and McNeill also plays the violin and harp. Celtic Womans latest tour in Asia is now coming to a close, and they will soon be back in the USA for a nationwide tour.
One brand new hit song that Celtic Woman is sure to play in America is called O, America! This song was written specifically for Celtic Woman by the Irish songwriter Brendan Graham. Graham is perhaps best known for writing Josh Grobans hit You Raise Me Up, a song that Celtic Woman has covered on many occasions. The members of Celtic Woman are so moved by the emotional reaction they get from their American audiences whenever they sing this song. The official music video for O, America has surpassed 2 million views on YouTube. Now it is your turn to see why so many Americans have been moved almost to tears by this stirring ballad.
