DESCRIPTION:
Ireland’s most exciting young tenor Emmet Cahill sings "Wild Mountain Thyme" with guitar, solo and unplugged in the acoustically world famous Troy Savings Bank Music Hall in Troy, N.Y.

Best-known for his work as lead singer of Celtic Thunder, a world-touring Irish singing group and stage show, Cahill will be touring nationwide in the United States this spring to debut his solo album, "Emmet Cahill's Ireland" (order here: http://amzn.to/2lkvi7U).

On Feb. 1, 2017, the Dublin native performed three classic songs for the Troy Cultural Alliance: “The Parting Glass,” (a cappella), “Wild Mountain Thyme,” (with guitar) and “Danny Boy” (on piano). Cahill took the stage solo and “unplugged,” without any amplification, before just a handful of friends.

In these beautiful renditions, captured with only a simple Olympus LS10 recorder, one can feel the singer's sound dance through and fill this landmark space.
