With their marathon winter-spring concert tour crossing North America, Irish music phenomenon CELTIC WOMAN has extended their current itinerary into summer due to overwhelming popular demand. The group will perform at Sioux City’s Tyson Events Center / Gateway Arena on Sunday, August 8th, at 7:30pm. Tickets are on sale now!
Touring in support of their latest chart-topping CD/DVD, “Songs from the Heart,” CELTIC WOMAN continues to delight live audiences with what critics are calling an “uplifting” and “beyond captivating” concert experience. Since forming in 2005, CELTIC WOMAN consists of a vivacious, versatile assemblage comprised of charismatic and sublimely gifted Irish women. The extended “Songs from the Heart” tour will feature vocalists Chloe Agnew, Lynn Hilary, Lisa Kelly, and fiddler Mairead Nesbitt – whose diverse musical abilities and vivid personalities combine to create an enchanting blend of timeless tradition and contemporary craft.
In just five short years, this unique all-female ensemble continues to have mainstream success without the aid of traditional sales drivers such as radio or video airplay. No other group of this particular adult contemporary genre can claim 5 million albums sold, two top 10 album debuts on the Billboard Top 200, 3 gold and platinum albums, 4 Top 5 Releases on the Billboard Top Video chart and a million concert tickets sold. They have succeeded by connecting directly to fans via their Public Television specials, their frequent touring and then having those fans share the experience with friends and loved ones.
