Grammy award-nominated Irish-American super group Cherish the Ladies formed in 1985 to celebrate the rise of extraordinary women in what had been a male-dominated Celtic music scene. For more than three decades, Cherish the Ladies has shared timeless Irish traditions and good cheer with audiences worldwide. They've brought their spectacular blend of virtuosic instrumental talents, beautiful vocals and stunning step dancing to the White House, the Olympics and to PBS with their Emmy award-winning television special, "An Irish Homecoming."

Under the leadership of All-Ireland flute and whistle champion Joanie Madden, named by The Irish Voice Newspaper as one of the top 25 most influential Irish Americans of the past quarter century, these ladies create an evening that includes a spectacular blend of virtuoso instrumental talents, beautiful vocals, captivating arrangements and stunning step dancing. Their continued success as one of the top Celtic groups in the world is due to the ensembles' ability to take the best of traditional Irish music and dance and put it forth in an immensely entertaining show. The level of artistic, historic and purely enticing entertainment is unlike any in its genre.
