Dublin born singer-songwriter Ken O’Malley will appear for a one hour show as part of the Desert Song series on Friday, June 19, 2009 at Butler’s Coffee in Palmdale. The critically acclaimed Browne sisters will also join him for what promises to be a unique and special evening.
As a performer, O’Malley transports his audience to his beloved Ireland with his rich, resonant voice and engaging stage presence accompanied by his remarkable talent on guitar and mandolin. The University of St. Thomas at Houston pronounces that Ken O'Malley is "widely regarded as the finest Irish folk singer/songwriter in the United States today" and the Irish News calls this consummate entertainer "without question, . . .the single most enduring, influential and proficient of all Irish musicians in Southern California . . ."
This event promises to be a magical hour of music with songs in both English and Irish Gaelic, suitable for all ages. Not just a singer, about whom Dave Soyars of the Irish Herald writes "his powerful and emotive voice shines through on everything he does", O’Malley is also a cultural ambassador and educator who infuses every performance with a genuine passion and love for his native land and its people. As longtime fan Mark Dresser says "the songs Ken sings touch all of us, Irish or not, to the very core of the human heart".
The event is free to the public and showtime is 7:00 PM on Friday, June 19, 2009 at Butler’s Coffee, 40125 10th St .West, Palmdale, CA 93551. More information about Ken O’Malley is available on his website at www.kenomalley.com.
