Nominated 19 times for Grammys, The Chieftains have won six, including “Best Traditional Folk Album” for Long Journey Home, The Celtic Harp, and An Irish Evening – Live at the Grand Opera House. The group, largely credited as one of the earliest Irish bands to promote international appeal for Celtic music, has collaborated with industry icons Van Morrison, Rolling Stones, and Sting. The ensemble’s performances are rich with “extraordinarily beautiful solos and Irish New Age music,” hailed The New York Times.
