Karan Casey & John Doyle

Show Description

Karan Casey and John Doyle first came to international prominence as founding members of the influential Irish band Solas. Now deep into their solo careers, the two- one of Irish music’s most glorious voices and one of its mightiest instrumentalists – have reunited.

Karan Casey has received critical acclaim from Japan to America as one of Ireland’s greatest singers, a standing confirmed by having been twice voted Best Female Traditional/Folk artist by Irish Music Magazine readers and her nomination for a prestigious BBC Radio 2 Folk Award. The Associated Press calls Casey’s voice “…so beautiful, it’s almost impossible to avoid falling under her spell.”

In the years since going out on his own, John Doyle has developed a duo with fiddler Liz Carroll; recorded two solo albums, including Wayward Son, which The Irish Edition hailed as “a contender for Album of the Year”; and has become a highly sought-after accompanist and session player for the likes of Joan Baez, Eileen Ivers, Tim O’Brien, Linda Thompson, Seamus Egan, Alison Brown and Kate Rusby.

Karan Casey and John Doyle now bring their collaboration to North American and European concert and festival stages. Their new CD is Exiles Return.
