The devoted fans of the internationally acclaimed vocal phenomenon, Celtic Woman, have once again come out to support the group’s newest project, BELIEVE, leading to their sixth consecutive #1 debut on Billboard’s World Music Chart, and a #1 debut on the Top Internet Album Chart. BELIEVE, which consists of an enchanting studio album and companion live concert DVD, also debuted at #13 on the Top 200 Chart and #2 on the Top DVD Music Video Chart (following Adele).
Celtic Woman is the all-female singing sensation featuring vocalists Chloë Agnew, Lisa Lambe, newest member Susan McFadden and Celtic violinist Máiréad Nesbitt. For 2012, the group performs classic Irish songs (“The Water Is Wide,” “Green Grow the Rushes,” “A Woman’s Heart,” “The Parting Glass”), timeless pop anthems (“Bridge Over Troubled Water,” “Sailing”), and inspirational songs (“You’ll Never Walk Alone,” “Ave Maria”) with their signature Celtic Woman twist, under the distinct musical direction of Emmy-nominated music producer, David Downes. The Believe live concert DVD was filmed for the first time in America during two sold-out nights at The Fox Theatre in Sept 2011.
Celtic Woman’s 60-city BELIEVE: LIVE US tour kicked off February 3rd in Nashville, and will continue across the U.S. through April 29 before heading to Europe.
