Legendary Irish folk singer Karan Casey has released 12 albums to date and has toured extensively throughout North America, Europe and Japan singing songs charged with a sense of social responsibility in a career spanning more than 25 years. A founding member of traditional supergroup Solas, Casey draws inspiration from a wide range of sources from the personal to the historical and political, touching on themes of family, loss, love, the empowerment of women and Irish revolutionary struggle.

Casey returns to Blackstone River Theatre to kick off the month of March and

Women’s History Month, and will be joined by Niamh Dunne on fiddle and vocals, and guitarist and accordionist Sean Óg Graham, both of the Irish folk band Beoga. This evocative trio has toured together for several years and tonight’s show premieres songs from her newest CD, “NineApples of Gold” as well as favorites from Karan’s back repertoire. Casey has long been recognized as one of the most innovative, provocative voices in Irish traditional and folk music.
