Karan Casey, one of Ireland’s brightest singer-songwriters, will make her first U.S. tour in three years from September 1-18, 2022. During the tour, Casey will present her recent work, including her album “Hieroglyphs That Tell the Tale” along with yet-unreleased material.
Her enthusiasm for storytelling through songs, her talent to give centuries-old lyrics and themes a universal, modern setting, and her belief that music can help change the world have empowered Casey to forge a deep connection with audiences everywhere. Additionally, she is a leading advocate for gender balance in the Irish folk and traditional music scene.
On Casey’s September 2022 tour, she will appear on National Public Radio’s influential Mountain Stage syndicated folk music radio program. Casey will be accompanied by a pair of skillful musicians, both members of popular Irish folk music band Beoga: Niamh Dunne (fiddle, vocals), who comes from a rich family heritage of Irish traditional music; and Seán Óg Graham (guitar), a talented arranger, composer and producer who is in great demand as an accompanist.
Casey has lately explored new modes of performance through accompanying herself on piano, as well as branching out into spoken word and theater. Her musical play “I Walked Into My Head” directed by Sophie Motley was performed in 2021 at the Kilkenny Arts Festival.
