******************************
Irish Balladeer Danny O’Flaherty
Danny’s success as an entertainer is driven by his
dedication to preserving and passing on his Celtic
heritage. As the last of a generation reared in the
isolation of a pure Gaelic culture, Danny’s youth recalled
the simple tradition kept alive on the rugged and desolate
islands. His first language is Gaelic, and his first love –
the ancient music played and sung around the peat fires in
the evenings. Danny evokes the often-indistinguishable link
between history and myth. Whether singing the timeless
songs of Galway fishermen or performing his own
contemporary ballads, Danny O’Flaherty keeps a unique
heritage alive.
Danny O’Flaherty has traveled far from his boyhood home in
the farthest reaches of the Irish west, to the steps of the
United States Capitol where he performed before a crowd of
a half a million on Solidarity Day. There have been
numerous other stops along the way - each a momentous
occasion: a tour of Israel culminating in a private command
performance with then President Herzog; a performance at
the National Cathedral for Pope John Paul II’s visit to the
U.S.; featured performer for President Ronald Reagan’s
Inaugural Ball; the opening concert for the Pan Celtic
Festival in Ireland; an invitation only concert for the
alumnae of the University of Notre Dame, and headliner for
the Tulsa Philharmonic and The National Theatre in
Washington, D.C. - just to list a few.
Danny O’Flaherty leads an audience through the mists of
legends as each soaring note gently tugs at the heart
transporting the listener to a world beyond time. This
talented musician is equally adept with six and twelve
string guitar, button accordion, tin whistle, and
harmonica. From songs of the sea and glen to aching calls
for tolerance and peace, Danny O’Flaherty’s appeal is
universal spanning all ages. read more

"Unfiltered and heartfelt, Danny O’Flaherty’s music is
the product of an intensely personal enthusiasm that makes
his work dramatically different."
~ Brian MacQuarrie, Boston Sunday Globe
"Danny O’Flaherty continues to grow on the Irish people.
Wherever he performs, his audience is amazed. Through his
music, Danny helps keep alive the stories and traditions of
an ancient culture and a simpler time. Danny might be
American based, but he is very much an Irishman."
~ Personalities, The Entertainment Magazine, Ireland
"Passionately devoted to traditional Irish culture and the
Gaelic language, Danny O’Flaherty has become a crusader for
