John Doyle and Cathie Ryan

Cathie Ryan joins John Doyle for a rare United States tour this December in

 An Irish Christmas. 

Joining John Doyle this year for “An Irish Christmas” is renowned singer songwriter Cathie Ryan. John and Cathie are longtime friends and have shared decades of musical collaboration. Together they created arrangements for many of Cathie’s studio recordings, they have toured as a duo throughout Europe, are members of the all-star ensemble The Irish Music Masters, and feature in the PBS special The Soul of Christmas. John and Cathie share a deep love of traditional music and continue to add to the tradition with their own original songs and songs they have written together. Two of their songs, Carrick-a-rede and Grace O’Malley, are now firmly in the Irish music repertoire.

"An Irish Christmas" promises to be a magical evening with two of Irish music’s most highly regarded artists sharing their memories of festive Christmas traditions of Ireland in song, story, and in the pure Joy of the Season!
