JOANIE MADDEN

About the Artist

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.
