Irish Tenors
The Irish Tenors comprise three vocalists with individually distinguished careers who came together for a concert at Ireland's giant Royal Dublin Society complex. The three Irish Tenors are John McDermott, Ronan Tynan, and Anthony Kearns. McDermott, an Irish Canadian, in 1995 recorded a group of Irish songs for his parents' 50th wedding anniversary; a copy of the tape fell into the hands of the EMI Music label, which immediately signed him to a multi-album contract. The concert in Ireland, accompanied by a 60-piece orchestra, was well attended and was recorded for television. The U.S. television PBS network's fundraiser in March 1999 was what cemented the three singers into a group. The broadcast, with favorites like "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" and "Only Our Rivers Run Free," rode to the top of a new American Irish craze, and the trio was contracted for further recordings. Between national television appearances on "The Today Show," "Good Morning America," "Regis & Kelly," "20/20," "CBS Saturday Morning," "A&E Breakfast with the Arts," to name a few, along with relentless touring, the group has developed tremendous and loyal fan base in the US and Europe. The Irish Tenors is currently one of the most successful Irish touring groups in the US, second only to superstar rock band U2.
