Andy Irvine

Andy Irvine is one of the great Irish singers, his voice one of a handful of truly great ones that gets to the very soul of Ireland. He has been hailed as "a tradition in himself." Musician, singer, and songwriter Andy has maintained his highly individual performing skills throughout his over 55-year career. From Sweeney's Men in the mid-60s to the enormous success of Planxty in the 70s, his duo with Paul Brady in the later 70s, and then from Patrick Street to Mozaik, LAPD, and Usher’s Island, Andy has been a world music pioneer and an icon for traditional music and musicians.

Ever the man for new pastures, Andy has played concerts all over Europe and has toured many times in Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and Canada. He also took extensive tours of Costa Rica, Panama, Nicaragua, Japan, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Argentina, and Chile.

Although an integral part of the finest Irish bands of our time, Andy Irvine continues along the path he set for himself so long ago—a vibrant career as a solo artist in the old style, a teller of tales and maker of music.
