A Celtic Winter Solstice Celebration: John Doyle, Cathie Ryan & Mick McAuley

John Doyle, Cathie Ryan, and Mick McAuley come together for a rare United States tour this November in A Celtic Winter Solstice Celebration . This festive celebration brings three of Irish music's most beloved performers to the stage in a program woven through with song and story - from cherished carols and traditional tunes and airs to newly composed songs for the season. Mick McAuley, renowned melodeon player and longtime collaborator of John Doyle, co-wrote and recorded This Christmas Time, a holiday album the two released in 2024. That recording is the heart and soul of A Celtic Winter Solstice Celebration, and Mick is delighted to be bringing it to American audiences alongside two of his favorite musical partners. Cathie Ryan is a natural fit for this holiday tour, having carved out a reputation for her own beloved Christmas performances over the years. A highly regarded singer, songwriter, performer, and educator, Cathie is a towering presence in traditional music circles on both sides of the Atlantic.
