​Join us for an evening with John Doyle & Cathie Ryan for a holiday celebration Irish Christmas concert!

​

They have toured as a duo throughout Europe, are both members of The Irish Music Masters, are featured on the PBS’ television special The Soul of Christmas, and are long-time songwriting partners. Cathie and John’s songs are inspired by their love of traditional music.

​ An Irish Christmas will be woven through with song and stories from beloved carols, through favorite traditional tunes and airs, to newly composed songs for the season presented by two of Irish music’s most highly regarded performers.

​​

​​From a musical family in Dublin, John Doyle's  influences include well known English folk singers Nic Jones, Martin Carthy, Richard Thompson, and The Watersons; Scottish singers Dick Gaughan and John Martin; and fellow Irishmen Paul Brady and Al O’Donnell as well as his father, Sean Doyle.

John went on to form the highly acclaimed super group, Solas, with Seamus Egan, John Williams, Karan Casey and Winifred Horan which took the folk and Celtic music worlds by storm. As a member of Solas, John performed to sold out audiences nationally and internationally as well as appearing on many national TV and radio programs.

​

"Doyle on guitar has risen to a level occupied by him alone. No one in Irish traditional music is a better guitarist than him right now. His chops, always assured and adroit, have now entered a rarefied zone of inspired, instinctive, in-the-moment creativity that made me gasp in awe and for breath. In my Wall Street Journal article on him this past March, I described John as one of the world’s best acoustic guitarists. I now think that may be an understatement." -Earle Hitchner, The Wall Street Journal and the Irish Echo 

​

For over twenty-five years, including five solo albums, countless musical collaborations, and multiple awards, Cathie Ryan has been in the vanguard of Irish music. She is blessed with a voice of luminous clarity and a gift for unearthing gems from Irish and American song traditions, creating her own heart-stirring originals, and for showcasing writers whose work deserves wider recognition. Wrap this musical integrity into a consummate entertainer and it is no wonder the Wall Street Journal calls her music, “a revelation.” Cathie Ryan was also an original member and founder of the group, Cherish the Ladies.
