CELTIC THUNDER’S EMMET CAHILL TO PERFORM CHURCH BENEFIT CONCERT IN JOHNSON CITY ON MAY 22

Principal vocalist for Celtic Thunder and a solo standout, Ireland’s
most exciting young tenor Emmet Cahill is returning to Johnson City
this May as part of his North American tour to promote his new album,
‘Blessings of Music’.

“For ‘Blessings of Music’, I wanted to encompass the emotional
connection that we all feel during a live musical experience,”
explains Cahill. “This album is a representation of the many
blessings that music has brought to my life, and also the lives of so
many others.”

From the age of four, Cahill has been devoted to the world of music,
going on to receive music scholarships, study a variety of instruments
and receive formal classical training in opera at the prestigious
Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin. Along with being recognized
with accolades like “Tenor of the Year” by the Irish Music Association
and winning multiple classical competitions throughout Ireland, Cahill
has served as the principal vocalist for the world-renowned Irish
music show Celtic Thunder since 2011.

In 2015, the star singer added “solo artist” to his list of
achievements and in 2017, Cahill recorded his No. 1 World Music Album
‘Emmet Cahill’s Ireland’, accompanied by the National Symphony
Orchestra of Ireland. Released on the Sony Music USA label, it offers
the best of the traditional Irish repertoire. He then went on to
perform to a sold out crowd at Carnegie Hall in 2018, performed as a
guest artist with symphonies in Tennessee, Florida and New York City
and conquered a 75-city tour for Celtic Thunder X, the group’s 10th
anniversary show.

In addition to performing selections from his albums, Cahill will also
sing well-known Broadway standards, nostalgic favorites, beloved
church hymns and operatic arias. And no Emmet Cahill concert is
complete without the ever-popular “request medley” segment, which
often brings surprises from the audience.

“I’ve always had a wonderful time visiting Johnson City on my tours.
I can’t wait to come back and see everyone again. The church has
stunning acoustics, and we’ll create a special atmosphere on the
night. I’ll also be asking the audience to sing along with me – so
have those voices ready and warmed up!”

Cahill will perform in Johnson City on May 22nd at 7:30 p.m. Tickets
are $30 – $45 and may be purchased online at
www.emmetcahill.com/tour-dates/ or at the door. Munsey Memorial
United Church is located at 201 S. Roan Street.
