THE IRISH TENOR CHRISTMAS Kicks Off Tour 11/27 In Red Bank NJ

Since they first joined voices in 1988, The Irish Tenors have made countless traditional treasures breathe new life and have proved themselves gifted interpreters of a wide range of material. The Irish Tenors powerful vocal lineup of Finbar Wright, Anthony Kearns and Karl Scully is unquestionably the leading brand of this genre in the market. All three are classically trained singers and have performed in leading concert halls across the world and together they continue to produce a sound and concert experience that touches the heart and stirs the emotion.

This coming holiday season The Irish Tenors present us with THE IRISH TENORS CHRISTMAS (Razor & Tie), an album full of traditional carols and well known contemporary songs. Accompanied by the Prague Philharmonic, the cd begins with a majestic orchestral introduction into the favorite church hymn "Hark the Herald," then leads us on a musical journey from Gospel with "Go Tell it on the Mountain," to Pop with the quirky rhythms of "Jingle Bell Rock" to Latin with "Feliz Navidad." The Tenors try their hand at "Fairytale of New York," made popular by Shane McGowan and the Pogues, and successfully pull it off by giving it a modern classical edge. Other songs include "I Heard the Bells," "Oh Holy Night" and "Santa Claus is Coming to Town."

Says Finbar Wright, "Experiencing the beauty and grace of Christmas music at our yearly Gala Concert has become an established ritual for many during the holiday season...we were delighted to spend time in the recording studio to commit these performances to a lasting medium that makes them available to you whenever you wish to hear them again."
