Joanie Madden
was born in the Bronx to Irish immigrants who instilled her
with pride in her heritage and exposed her to traditional
Irish music. From the very beginning, she's earned the
respect of her peers as the only American to win the
All-Ireland Senior Tin Whistle title, and was selected as
Traditionalist of the Year by the Irish Echo. She formed
CHERISH THE LADIES, a six-woman group that performs
traditional Celtic music and has recorded six albums to
date. Madden is in demand as a collaborator with name
artists, including Sinead O'Connor, The Clancy Brothers, Tom
Chapin and Pete Seeger. She tours tirelessly and still plays
the Irish pubs of her native New York. Here are 2
outstanding collections of her solo work. |
