The Louise Kerr Cultural Center in Scottsdale welcomes
back the great Irish folk-singer Ken O' Malley. Born and raised  in
Dublin City, Ken O' Malley is regarded as the leading Irish folk singer/songwriter
in the United States today. By the time he was 14 he was playing in coffeehouses
in Dublin's vibrant traditional music scene and at 15 he opened for legendary
balladeer Paddy Reilly at the equally legendary Old Sheiling. He has performed
with The Chieftains, Paul Brady, The Wolf Tones, Lunasa, Solas, Mary Black
and Gaelic Storm to name a few, and has led his well-known band The Twilight
Lords in two recordings, The White Seahorse and Women of Ireland. He was
commissioned by Turner Pictures to compose an original song, “The
Roses and the Rye for the CD accompanying the movie Gods and Generals,
the sequel to Gettysburg. Ken is the narrator for FritzFilms' Joyce to
the World, a one-hour long documentary on Ulysses and its author James
Joyce, featuring Brian Dennehy, Finoula Flanagan, Frank McCourt and Malachy
McCourt. He sang in the Paramount Pictures movie Patriot Games, coached
Irish actor Pierce Brosnan for his singing debut in the movie Evelyn and,
most recently, recorded the 17th century Irish ballad “Eamon
an Chnoic†(Ned of the Hill) for National Geographic's
CD recording Romance Around the World, a collection of twelve international
love songs. In August '04 Ken performed at the John Anson Ford Theatre
in Los Angeles with Solas and again at the Ford in September '05 with
Gaelic Storm. He most recently starred in Kerry Records production of
A Grand Irish Variety Concert at The Shiley Theater, San Diego, The United
Irish Cultural Center, San Francisco, and Marsee Auditorium, El Camino
College, Torrance California.
Do not miss this journey to Ireland, and to Skibbereen and Raglan Road
and to that place where words and music meet. A great night of storytelling
and song. Not to be missed!
