About the Artist
Irish-born folk singer Danny O’Flaherty, whose landmark O’Flaherty’s Irish Channel Pub was for 15 years a cultural icon in New Orleans’ French Quarter. After hurricane Katrina destroyed the pub, his home and possessions, O’Flaherty fled to Texas and now tours the country, allowing audiences nationally to savor the numerous Irish folk songs he heard and learned in his home village in Connemara, Ireland. Danny’s expressive vocals and convincing delivery give a sincere and heart-felt immediacy to his ballads and tales. His prowess on 6 or 12-string guitars, accordion, harmonica, tin whistle, or flute is simply dazzling. Danny has been wowing audiences since first landing on these shores in the early 1970's, highlights including having played for President Reagan’s Inaugural Ball and for Pope John Paul II at the National Cathedral. In addition to his now-constant touring, Danny includes benefit performances for Irish cultural awareness events and leads regular tours of Ireland.
