Brían Ó hAirt
Singer, dancer, musician and Irish language master
Now as a matured singer, Brían Ó hAirt (pronounced BREE-un oh-HARCH) has become a mouthpiece for the promotion of unaccompanied song. His anomalous and evocative voice stands as a testament to the power of tradition while his ability to share the mind’s eye of an older generation of singers has afforded him great acclaim at his age. He became the youngest and first ever American to win the coveted Sgiath Uí Dhálaigh shield at the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in Listowel, Co. Kerry in 2002—adding his name to the shield’s long list of noted traditional singers including Seosamh Ó hÉanaí, Frank Harte and Paddy Berry.
Brían is the founder of Sean-nos Milwaukee an annual event of language, song, dance and music held in Milwaukee every February.
