Karan Casey

Irish singer-songwriter Karan Casey has been singing ballads, love songs, and searing social justice songs to audiences for 30 years. Lately, she’s been exploring new areas of performance on the piano, with spoken word, and in theater. A prolific solo performer, Karen also performs and records with many other artists  — including Maura O’Connell, John Doyle, Bela Fleck, the Chieftains, Peggy Seeger, Tim O’Brien, and Seamus Eagan, and the supergroup Solas, to name just a few. For this tour, Karen will be joined by renowned singer and fiddle player, Niamh Dunne, and the amazing button accordion player, Sean Óg Graham. In 2018 Karan helped found FairPlé an organization aimed at achieving fairness and gender balance for female performers in Irish traditional and folk music. “[A] powerful songwriter” (Irish Music Magazine);
