John Doyle and Karan Casey

Karan Casey has long been one of the most innovative, provocative and imitated voices in Irish traditional and folk music. From her early years as a jazz performer in Georges Bistro in Dublin, to her heady days in New York with the celebrated Irish band Solas, to her now blossoming solo career, she has sold over half a million albums. Karan is a frequent guest on A Prairie Home Companion and has been featured on two Grammy-winning CDs.
Tonight she performs with former Solas bandmate John Doyle. Doyle's gifts as a guitarist, songwriter, vocalist, and producer have played an essential role in the ongoing renaissance of Irish traditional music. Impossibly in demand in the studio and on the road, blessed with an acute ear, a wicked sense of rhythm, and a seemingly endless stream of magic in his playing, John Doyle is one of the most prolific figures in folk and traditional Irish music.
