  • The Henry Girls Irish Americana Folk Aus Donegal/Irland
    The Henry Girls Irish Americana Folk aus Donegal/Irland Diese drei Schwestern haben den Plan, Weltkarriere zu machen! Karen (Fiddle Vocals), Lorna (Vocals, Accordeon) und Joleen McLaughlin (Harfe, Piano, Vocals) sind in ihrer Heimat Malin, einem malerischen Städtchen auf der Inish Eoghain Halbinsel in Nord Donegal, schon von jeher als "The Henry Girls" bekannt. Keiner weiß so recht warum, aber irgendwie blieb der ungewöhnliche Name an den drei Schwestern (von insgesamt sieben!) haften. Früh schon bekamen die jungen Mädchen Unterricht und zu Hause war mehrstimmiges Singen traditionell an der Tagesordnung, heute ist es ihr Markenzeichen. Erste Schritte ins Profi-Leben taten Karen und Lorna in Australien, während die jüngere Joleene zu Hause Harfe spielen lernte. Neben den traditionellen Klängen ihrer Heimatgegend hörten sie früh die modernen Varianten des Irish Folk und Pop (etwa die legendären Clannad, ebenfalls aus Donegal, und die Corrs), wendeten sich aber gleichfalls nach Westen, Richtung Amerika z.B. zu den Dixie Chicks mit ihrem folkigen Americana Sound. Schon bald gehörten die Girls zu denen, die amerikanische Folk- und Bluegrass-Richtungen per musikalischer "Transatlantic Connection" wieder stärker mit den keltischen Wurzeln verbanden. Schon immer hatten sie ein Herz für die besondere Magie im Gesang legendärer echter „Schwestern“-Gesangsensembles wie den Boswell Sisters oder den Andrew Sisters und so entsteht diese einmalige, berührend intensive Melange aus Stilen und Stimmen. Mittlerweile gelten Die Henry Girls als eine der wegweisenden neuen Folk Gruppen Irlands mit einem persönlichen Stil. Neben weltweiten Konzerten, unzähligen TV- und Radioshows unterrichten sie, arbeiteten mit Stars wie Donal Lunny, Mary Black oder Moya Brennan und schreiben komplette Soundtracks für Filme und Theater.

Attendees will be exposed to some of the finest Irish music talent from around the world with more than 100 acts on 16 stages over the four-day festival. “Every year we bring in a diverse lineup of artists that cover Traditional, Celtic rock, folk, singer/songwriter, and contemporary styles,” said Jane Anderson, executive director of Milwaukee Irish Fest. “People may not realize that we even bring in Riverdance-like productions such as 14-member performance band, Kintra. There’s truly something for everybody.” And for this year’s annual festival, happening August 18 to 21 on Milwaukee’s lakefront, Irish Fest didn’t just book the best Irish music acts – they hand-picked them. “When we promise to bring you a slice of Ireland, we start by traveling there ourselves,” said Ed Ward, entertainment coordinator for Milwaukee Irish Fest. “Our goal is to find and select the most unique artists and bring them to our festival goers.” Irish Fest’s quest for “new” and “unique,” took their group on a journey to Ireland late last fall. They found many of this year’s cutting edge artists during their visit to multiple showcases and performances put on by top musicians.
