US Tour December 2025 ~ ‘An Irish Christmas’ with John Doyle and Cathie Ryan ~ 16 shows!
Cathie joins John Doyle for a rare United States duo tour this December for An Irish Christmas.
I’ll be sharing the stage and the road with the legend himself, John Doyle, this year for “An Irish Christmas”. John and I are longtime friends and have shared decades of musical collaboration. Together we created arrangements for many of my studio recordings, we’ve toured as a duo throughout Europe, are both members of the all-star ensemble The Irish Music Masters, and we featured in the PBS special The Soul of Christmas fado fado! We share a deep love of traditional music which inspires the songs we write together. We are very proud that Carrick-a-rede and Grace O’Malley are now firmly in the Irish music repertoire.
Thank you all for your support and enthusiasm about this tour. It means so much. “An Irish Christmas” promises a magical evening of songs, stories, and memories of Christmastime in Ireland shared by two of Irish Music’s most beloved and highly regarded performers. We hope to see you at one of the shows.
