Traditional Irish music's bright future

In 2002 in Listowel, he was the youngest and first ever American to win the All-Ireland Senior Singing competition. He has put all that education to good use in establishing Sean Nos Milwaukee, a leading celebration of singing in the sean nos tradition, especially in the Irish language and he will teach singing in Irish in the Catskills. He is also a very fine concertina and sean nos step dancer and member of the band Bua.

While the voices of Frank Harte and now Rita Keane have been stilled, their spirit is very much with us especially in the Catskills with the Frank Harte Singing Club established in his memory in 2007. 

Raising voices in such a community as that strengthens the living tradition and assures that Ireland’s history in song and story will remain as powerful as it has been in the past.
