A CLASSIC IRISH CHRISTMAS Starring
ANDY COONEY

with George Casey
Kate Purcell
Darrah Carr Dance
Brian "Bugs" Moran
& the Andy Cooney Band

Performance 7:30 p.m.

The magic and meaning of Christmas comes alive with Andy Cooney's "A Classic Irish Christmas 2011." Andy Cooney, star of The Magic of Christmas at Carnegie Hall, with his outstanding voice and dynamic stage presence has always been a favorite among American and Irish audiences everywhere. His talent and versatility provide the ability to deliver a song directly to the hearts of his audience. Andy is surely one of the greatest singing sensations on the stage today. Being christened "Irish America's Favorite Son" by the New York Times is a title he truly deserves.

George Casey, Ireland's "King of Blarney" will add great balance and comedy relief. George Case from County Clare is a veteran to the stage. He has toured with many of America's legendary performers such as Rosemary Clooney and has extensively toured with Bobby Vinton, who later encouraged George to team up with him in Branson, Missouri.

Kate Purcell is one of Ireland's foremost folk artists. Her fresh and engaging way with a song will immediately capture and thrill the audience. Growing up with musicians such as fiddle virtuoso Martin Hayes, as neighbors, Kate's early influences were mainly Irish folk. She also developed a love for contemporary stylesÑparticularly a blend of blues and American country.

Darrah Carr Dance will dazzle the audience with traditional Irish step and contemporary modern dance.
