"A Fab Five peddling Celtic stylings...steadfast George, sensitive Keith, bruising Paul, caddish Ryan and angelic Damian." - New York Times

Vocal supergroup Celtic Thunder will hit the road this winter with a performance at Providence's Veterans Memorial Auditorium on December 7 at 7:30PM.

Bringing together their affinity for a great popular song with outstanding live performances, Irishmen Damian McGinty, Keith Harkin, Paul Byrom, Ryan Kelly and Scotsman George Donaldson pay homage to cherished musical entertainers of past and present during this special holiday concert. This new musical revue spans six decades of musical styles and celebrates the festive season with a set list to satisfy fans of all ages. Fans will be enthralled by unique interpretations of classics such as "Standing on the Corner" alongside pop numbers such as U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," The Proclaimers' "My Life Without You" and Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." The group will also play holiday favorites such as "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas," "Let It Snow," "Winter Wonderland" and "Silent Night" from their new CD Christmas due in stores October 12 on Decca.

Hailed as Billboard's Top world music artist, Celtic Thunder has achieved sales of nearly 650,000 copies to date. Their devoted fan base continues to grow with an active YouTube channel, "Thunder Tube" and multiple QVC appearances. Since 2008 the group has had three hugely successful Public Television specials, including the most recent smash hit It's Entertainment.
