Direct from his SOLD OUT appearance at Carnegie Hall on December 4, 2008 and christened by The New York Times as "Irish America's Favorite Son", Andy Cooney has taken the Irish-American music scene by storm. His outstanding voice and dynamic stage presence makes him a favorite with audiences as he renders songs ranging from all-time favorites like "Galway Bay" and "Danny Boy" to his hit records "The Irish Wedding Song", "Boston Rose" and "Daughter of Mine". Andy's talent and versatility provide the ability to deliver a song directly to the hearts of his listeners.
One of nine children born into a deep-rooted Irish American family, Andy Cooney has been singing Irish songs literally all his life, beginning at an early age with his grandfather. As a young lad of five, he sang at family and church gatherings. His professional career began at the young age of 17, when he began appearing in many of the well-known Irish establishments in the New York area entertaining audiences with his piano playing and singing. In 1986, at age 19, the well-known Irish bandleader, Paddy Noonan, asked Andy to tour with his show. For the next several years Andy toured with Paddy Noonan gaining national exposure for his talent and winning a place in the hearts of all those who heard him from coast to coast. In 1994, Andy struck out on his own and hasn’t looked back.
Today, Andy has gathered around him the finest group of musicians on the Irish music scene touring all over the US throughout the year. For two seasons of the year, Christmas and St. Patrick's Day, Andy adds to his troupe by inviting other talented entertainers to join him. Some of these legendary Irish performers include George Casey, Noel V. Ginnity, Cahal Dunne, The Irish Sopranos, Mac & O, Annette Griffin, Kate Purcell, Deirdre Reilly and the late Dermot O’Brien to name a few. This is a high-energy show that showcases the finest in Irish music, comedy and dance. Visit his website http://www.andycooney.com
