tHE CHiEFtAinsAs a six-time Grammy Award-winning band, The Chieftains has been recognized for reinventing traditional Irish music on a contemporary and international scale. The performers’ ability to transcend musi-cal boundaries and blend tradition with modern music has nota-bly hailed them as one of the most renowned and revered musical groups in the world.

As cultural ambassadors, The Chieftains’ performances have been linked with seminal historical events, such as being the first West-ern musicians to play on the Great Wall of China; participating in Roger Water’s The Wall performance in Berlin in 1990; and being the first ensemble to perform a concert in the United States Capitol. The group’s collaborations extended out of this world when Paddy Moloney’s whistle and Matt Molloy’s flute travelled with Cady Cole-man, NASA astronaut, to the international space station.

Although the early following was purely a folk audience, the band’s range and variation of musical choices—plus the accompanying musicians with which it collaborated—quickly captured The Chief-tains a much broader audience.

The Chieftains performed for Pope John Paul II, with an audience of more than 1.3 million people, during his visit to Ireland in 1979. In honor of The Chieftains’ fiftieth anniversary, the ensemble garnered the inaugural National Concert Hall Lifetime Achievement Award at a 2012 gala in Philadelphia. The American Ireland Fund hosted the

event, at which the band was recognized not only for its contribu-tions to the music industry worldwide but also for promoting the best of Irish culture.

Also in 2012, The Chieftains invited friends from various musical styles to collaborate on its album Voice of Ages. Featuring some of modern music’s fastest rising artists—including Bon Iver, The Decem-berists, and Paolo Nutini—the album transcends stylistic, traditional, and generational boundaries.

The band is never afraid to shock purists and push genre boundar-ies. Yet the trappings of fame have not altered the members’ love of, and loyalty to, their roots. They are as comfortable playing spon-taneous Irish sessions as they are headlining a concert at Carnegie Hall. After more than half a century of making some of the most beautiful music in the world, The Chieftains’ sound remains as fresh and relevant as when the group was founded in 1962.

ÁLYTH McCORMACK is one of the most exciting singers on the Celtic scene. Her vocal talent and understanding approach give her an ability to cross diverse singing styles and make her comfortable performing with a variety of artists. She was born and raised on the Scottish island of Lewis. After attending academy, McCormack returned to her roots and began tour-ing throughout Germany, Spain, Italy, Estonia, Brazil, Ireland, Switzerland, Greece, Austria, Hungary, Norway, and Sweden plus countries in North America and the United Kingdom. In 2000, she released her first solo CD, An Iomall, on Vertical Records. She has appeared at various festivals, including Celtic Colours, Celtic Connections, The Edinburgh International Festival, The Lammertree Festival, and the Hebridean Celtic Festival. In 2001, McCormack performed with her trio as part of Distilled-Scotland Live in New York City.

McCormack is also an actress performing for both stage and screen. She has worked with directors Alison Peebles, Ian McElhinney, and Chris Baldock. She is also a founding member of the Scottish Theatre Group Dogstar and has had leading roles in award-winning produc-tions. She has contributed to various film soundtracks, most notably Festival by Annie Grif-fin, winner of the British Com-edy Award for Best Comedy Film of 2005.

CARA BUTLER started danc-ing when she was 6 years old. Under the tutelage of renowned Irish dance master Donny Golden, she won numerous Irish dance championships at world-class levels, including five regional and six national titles. Her competitive years were intermingled with performing alongside the best of Irish music exports, including Cherish the Ladies, Greenfields of Amer-

ica, and Solas. This marks her twenty-first year as the principal female dancer with The Chief-tains. She appeared numerous times on Late Night with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and Late Night with Conan O’Brien. Butler is famous for her role as the lead dancer in the Folgers coffee commercial, “A Dancer’s Morn-ing,” and can be seen dancing in Shania Twain’s video “Don’t be Stupid.” She has also appeared in, and choreographed dance sequences with, Brad Pitt in The Devil’s Own and Cher and Ryan O’Neal in Faithful. In 1999, Butler opened as a principal dancer in Jean Butler and Colin Dunne’s Dancing on Dangerous Ground at London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane. She contin-ues to work with her sister, of Riverdance fame, doing dance workshops and appearing in Jean Butler’s Irish Dance Mas-terclass, an instructional DVD. Butler’s expertise lies in formal Irish dance training but is not limited by it. Her various tal-ents have enabled her to excel in many mediums. In 1996, she toured with Ashley MacIsaac showcasing her virtuosity as a singer and a dancer. In 2006, she joined her talents with Tríona Marshall and the Pilatzke Brothers—both of The Chief-tains—creating TREAD, a tour de force of traditional music and dance influenced by mentors in Irish music. Butler joins husband Jon Pilatzke and brother-in-law Nathan Pilatzke as the creators and performers of The Step-Crew, one of the most dynamic

and unique dance shows touring the world today. The StepCrew brings together tap, plus Irish and Ottawa Valley step dancing, and boasts a collective of vir-tuosic percussive dancers and musicians. www.stepcrew.com

JON PILATZKE is a creator of and performer in The StepCrew, one of the most dynamic and unique dance shows touring the world today. The show brings together tap, plus Irish and Ottawa Valley step dancing, and boasts a collective of vir-tuosic percussive dancers and musicians. Hailing from Ontario, Canada’s Ottawa Valley, Pilatzke has been step dancing and play-ing the fiddle for three decades. He’s the three-time winner of the Canadian Open Step Danc-ing Championships. He has had the pleasure of performing in many musical and theatre pro-ductions, including Bowfire, a virtuosic display featuring ten of Canada’s best violinists from various genres. For eleven years, Pilatzke has been ecstatic to step dance and play lead fiddle across the world as a perma-nent fixture with The Chieftains. Performances include every-thing from Late Night with David Letterman to the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize Awards. In recognition of their talents, Pilatzke and his brother, Nathan, received a Gemini Award (the Canadian equivalent of an Emmy) in 2005 and performed alongside The Chieftains for the 2006 Grammy-nominated album The Chieftains Live from Dublin: A Tribute to Derek Bell.

Pilatzke was happy to expand his horizons in the summers of 2009 and 2012 as the violin-ist for international sensation Loreena McKennitt, performing at some of the most prominent outdoor music festivals in Can-ada and Europe. www.stepcrew.com

NATHAN PILATZKE is one of the most dynamic and ener-getic step dancers to ever hit the stage. Pilatzke, hailing from the Ottawa Valley of Ontario, Canada, has been performing for more than thirty years. Aptly nicknamed “Crazy Legs,” he started step dancing at the age of 5. Since 2002, Pilatzke has toured with The Chieftains to Sweden, Norway, China, Japan, Australia, North America, and elsewhere. He has performed everywhere from The Ryman Auditorium—with Emmylou Harris, Ricky Skaggs, and Alli-son Krauss—to Late Night with David Letterman and the Conan O’Brien Show. The year 2005 proved triumphant for Pilatzke and his brother, Jon, when they garnered a Gemini Award for Best Performance in a Variety Program on The Chieftains in Canada. Pilatzke has teamed with other Chieftains’ alumni in an Irish/Canadian traditional music-and-dance project called TREAD. The group recorded its first CD, Live from Matt Molloy’s, and has toured Japan, Italy, Scotland, and Ireland. Pilatzke has also joined with his brother and sister-in-law, Cara Butler, in The StepCrew, one of the most dynamic and unique dance

shows touring the world today. The StepCrew brings together tap, plus Irish and Ottawa Valley step dancing, and boasts a col-lective of virtuosic percussive dancers and musicians. www.stepcrew.com

TRÍONA MARSHALL, a classi-cal harpist, was the principal harpist with the RTE Concert Orchestra until 2003, when she was invited to play as guest harpist for The Chieftains. Since then she has performed solely on the Irish harp playing as a guest artist on tours throughout the world. Marshall’s perfor-mances include the ninth World Harp Congress; the Special Olympics Opening Ceremony in Dublin’s Croke Park; and the 2005 Edinburgh Fringe Festival with Thomas Ranjo, where she played Irish and Japanese music on harp, shakuhachi (end-blown flute), and biwa (short-necked fretted lute). As principal harpist with the RTE Concert Orchestra, Marshall explored styles rang-ing from jazz to modern Irish to classical. Her performances included, among others, the premiere of contemporary jazz artist Bobby Lamb’s Shining Sea for harp and orchestra; Robert Farnon’s Intermezzo for harp and strings; Bill Whelan’s Seville Suite; and Joaquin Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez. “Tríona Marshall’s playing was sponta-neous, delicately graded, full of rhythmic vitality, and techni-cally impeccable,” wrote Martin Adams of The Irish Times. A native of Port Laoise, Ireland, she is one of five in a family of

the Senior Céilí Band competi-tion in 2013. She has performed throughout the world, includ-ing in the United States, China, India, the Philippines, and most of the European countries. Donal Lunny selected her for the band Ciorras. She later joined the Galician piper Carlos Núñez, with whom she con-tinues to play in Europe. She is working on an album with Conor Moriarty and Stephen Rooney.

MARTIN MURRAY, from County Tipperary, Ireland, is a respected instrumental-ist and sound engineer. He played banjo, fiddle, and man-dolin in bands throughout the 1980s and 1990s, and he has traveled the world with The Chieftains. He has also per-formed and recorded with such luminaries as accordion-ist Mairtin O’Connor, Mícheal O Súilleabhain, Bill Whelan, and Liam Clancy. In 1993, he released his own album, A Dark Horse, in the company of Fran-kie Gavin, Matt Molloy, Derek Bell, Gary O’Briain, Seamus McGuire, Jimmy Faulkner, and Mairtin O’Connor. The album was compared favorably to his American counterparts by Irish Music Magazine.

musicians. She started playing the harp at age 7. After winning numerous harp competitions, her studies and performances took her on tour throughout Europe. She also toured as a member of the European Union Youth Orchestra.

TIM EDEY, a multi-instrumen-talist and singer, has toured the world and recorded extensively with major names in Celtic roots music, including The Chieftains, Natalie MacMaster and Don-nell Leahy, Altan, Capercaillie, Michael McGoldrick, Seamus Begley, Christy Moore, Sharon Shannon, Dougie Maclean, The Barra MacNeills, J. P. Cormier, Shaun Davey, Session A9, Lunasa, Vinnie Kilduff, Mary Black, Julie Fowlis, and Frankie Gavin. Edey is also a successful solo artist in the United King-dom, Ireland, and Canada. In 2012, he won two major BBC awards—Best Musician and Best Duo—with Brendan Power, the harmonica guru from New Zealand. Originally from Broad-stairs, England, Edey honed his style as he learned from his father Richard, a fine guitar-ist. He also credits listening to Ed Boyd, Steve Cooney, and Django Reinhardt. He has lived in Ireland, but now resides in Scotland.

TARA BREEN started playing the fiddle at the age of 7. She has achieved All-Ireland titles in each age category, culminat-ing with the Senior Fiddle Title in 2012. Breen is a member of the Awbeg Céilí Ban, which won
