Celtic Woman was promoting Home for Christmas last year, but something must have happened because their show in Minneapolis was postponed until now. Perhaps the group agreed that they would rather be ‘home for Christmas’.
The good news is now that Spring is here, the all-female Irish ensemble is currently taking their beautiful New Age/Celtic Folk music on a world tour this year – stopping by Minneapolis at the Orpheum Theatre this Saturday, April 13th.
I haven’t actually kept on the latest Celtic Woman news, but I am expecting the current four vocalists (Chloe Agnew, Lisa Lambe, Susan McFadden, and Mairead Nesbitt) and wondering if Meav Na Mhaolchatha will be on this 2013 tour. Mhaolchatha left the group five years ago, but returned last year to record Home for Christmas. Of course, I don’t expect them to actually do holiday songs, especially since we’re well past Christmas.

KODALINEkodaline.com
Kodaline is from Dublin, Ireland. The band was featured on BBC Sound of 2013, and their most recent single “High Hopes” landed on #16 the UK charts (#1 on the Irish charts). The young band will be showcasing their music by supporting The Airborne Toxic Event on their North American tour. Am I correct in assuming that their very first U.S. show will be at First Avenue in Minneapolis? Exciting.
Expect Kodaline to be playing music from their The Kodaline EP (released September 2012 via B-Unique/RCA) and their debut album, In A Perfect World, which is due out in June.
