The settings and show manship are akin to a Broadway theatrical production\, with a wealth of mu sical talent at the center of it. The five singers who make up Celtic Thun der are all enormously gifted vocalists\, and their blend of Irish folk fl avors with pop is a carefully concocted brew. But you get something extra when you see them live in concert. The elaborate stage visuals that accomp any Celtic Thunder’s performances are an essential part of the proceedin gs\, leading the group to capture many past productions on CD and DVD. The combination of musicality and theatricality has made the group an interna tional sensation since their start in the late 2000s. Every tour is a uniq ue production unto itself: from 2008’s The Show to 2012’s Voyage\, 201 3’s Mythology\, and now their 2018 tour\, X. Celtic Thunder Background T he foresight of producer Sharon Browne first brought Celtic Thunder togeth er. Browne’s vision combines the talents of five young\, world-class Iri sh vocalists for a project that is as much about live performance as recor dings\, and creating a sound that keeps traditional Irish music at its cor e\, while opening itself up to other influences—including contemporary p op/rock\, spirituals\, and holiday music. Ryan Kelly\, Damian McGinty\, Pa ul Byron\, George Donaldson\, and Keith Harkin made up the original quinte t that formed in Ireland in 2007. On early albums like ‘Celtic Thunder: The Show’ and ‘Celtic Thunder: Act Two\,’ they established an approa ch that appealed to a broad cross section of music fans\, and they perform ed concerts that brought elaborate visuals and bold theatricality into the mix. Today only Kelly and McGinty remain from the original lineup\, but C eltic Thunder continues to be an international sensation\, and the group ’s peerless vocals and unbridled showmanship remain on point.
