 updated February 15, 2012 Andy Cooney, direct from his SOLD OUT performances at Carnegie Hall, Irish America’s Favorite Son – comes to your stage with some of America’s most loved music. Surrounding himself with quality artists, Andy’s Forever Irish is a joyful occasion.
With his outstanding voice and dynamic stage presence, Andy is a favorite among American and Irish audiences. The combination of his talent, versatility, and flair for entertaining equals the ability to deliver a song directly into the hearts of his audience. Andy is a musician, songwriter, vocalist, and true entertainer. His immediate rapport with people, his boyish charm and good looks, and his delight in entertaining coalesce to create what can only be called Magic. Whether playing to a packed house or an intimate gathering, he delivers the same performance, endearing him to every audience who comes to his concerts. Joe Cuddy earned the title of "Ireland's Funniest Man" during the seven straight seasons he appeared in Jury’s Irish Cabaret, and over many tours of the United States. Originally one of Ireland’s most popular singers (he had a huge hit single with “Any Dream Will Do” from “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat”). Joe is always well known for his witty patter and hilarious stories, and a popular choice for any formal or informal gathering. Eventually he decided to concentrate on the comic side of things, and is now firmly established as one of Ireland’s foremost comedians. Darrah Carr Dance will be with us for this upcoming tour. The past decade has seen an explosion of popularity for Irish dance. These exciting dancers are sure to dazzle the audience with traditional Irish step and contemporary modern dance, a great combination providing a meeting place for the cultures of Ireland and America. To complete Forever Irish, Andy Cooney and The Irish Sopranos will be accompanied by Andy Cooney’s “World Famous Irish Band”!, lead by Musical Director Brian Moran, a most accomplished musician from New York. Andy’s band will feature Mitch Reilly on flute and whistles, percussionist Jimmy Kelly and guitarist Colm Graham. Andy Cooney’s Forever Irish is a family experience, an Irish experience, a musical experience...and a memory-making experience for everyone!
