The Enchanted Music of Ireland Tour comes alive as Andy Cooney once again gathers together the finest musicians, dancers and performers to ignite their audiences in the Irish tradition.
Andy Cooney, one of the greatest singing sensations on the Irish Music scene today, and known as “Irish America’s Favorite Son” by The New York Times is celebrating St. Patrick’s Day this year in Vero Beach. Cooney is bringing The Enchanted Music of Ireland Tour to The Emerson Center on Saturday, March 17, at 7 p.m. featuring world class Irish dancers, the Irish Pop Ensemble and special guest star vocalist Shauna McStravock.
Cooney, who has previously performed in Vero Beach to sellout audiences, has seven Carnegie Hall sellouts under his belt. His outstanding voice and dynamic stage presence has always been a favorite among young and old everywhere. His talent and versatility provide the ability to deliver a song directly to the hearts of his audience.
Cooney has recorded 19 albums to date including “Bright Brand New Day” with Phil Coulter and his orchestra and his latest CD “Irish Country Skyline” is a journey back to his Country music roots.
Joining Cooney on tour is Ireland’s vocal sensation Shauna McStravock who recently released her first album entitled “In The Middle of Love.” She has shared the stage with some of the best and brightest names on the Irish & Country music scene today, has her own popular TV show Shauna’s Country and has performed her popular songs on BBC.
Rounding out this rousing show is The Irish Pops Ensemble, led by musical director Bugs Moran and the World Class Irish Dancers, all of which make this a terrific Irish Celebration in 2018.
