TITAS Presents The Chieftains

Any discussion of traditional Irish music on the contemporary scene has to begin with six-time Grammy Award winning group, The Chieftains. Starting in 1962, this engaging and endlessly talented ensemble of Irish cultural ambassadors made the traditional music of their island home popular around the world. The Chieftains have never stopped pushing into new territory, reinvigorating traditional Celtic forms with fresh ideas and eclectic influences. Major stars of pop and rock, American country and bluegrass music and numerous world-music genres line up to collaborate with these Irish masters. In their five decades as a group, The Chieftains have sold millions of records. Favorites of North Texas audiences, they bring great humor, joyful exuberance and, of course, fabulous music to the TITAS season and the AT&T Performing Arts Center.
