In only five years, Celtic Woman has had CDs and DVDS sales topping 4 million, played 9 U.S. tours, and performed for almost a million people. Celtic Woman recently performed at the National Christmas Tree Lighting in Washington D.C. joining entertainers like Sheryl Crow, Common, Jordin Sparks and Ray LaMontagne. As a testament to the group's ability to cross musical and cultural boundaries, the group was invited to perform on ABC's Dancing With The Stars singing for 23 million viewers while their PBS TV specials have dominated the
broadcast airwaves over the past five years.

A true celebration of Ireland with an unforgettable signature style, don't miss an "evening of spectacular entertainment" (Kalamazoo Gazette) when Celtic Woman performs live in concert.
