BISHOP HILL, Ill.—Due to predicted cool temperatures, Tuesday night’ concert featuring the Karan Casey trio will be moved indoors to Bishop Hill Creative Commons, located at 309 N. Bishop Hill St. in Bishop Hill.

Legendary Irish singer-songwriter Karan Casey has been blazing a trail for over 30 years. A lover of ballads, love songs and searing versions of social justice songs, fond of a good yarn, she has toured the world making deep connections with her audience connecting via Ireland’s past but crucially repositioning women and songs in a universal and a modern setting.

Karan has been striking out lately to explore new areas of performance on the piano and with spoken word and theater. She has released eleven albums as well as contributing to numerous other artists’ projects – appearing on more than 80 albums so far – and has toured extensively throughout North America, Europe and Japan, performing with her own band as well as collaborating with such diverse musicians as Maura O’Connell, James Taylor, Bela Fleck, Boston Pops Orchestra, Kate Ellis, Niall Vallely, Pauline Scanlon, The Chieftains, The Dubliners, Peggy Seeger, Karen Matheson, Mick Flannery, Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin, Tim O’Brien and Solas.

In 2018 Karan helped found FairPlé which is an organization aimed at achieving fairness and gender balance for female performers in Irish traditional and folk musics. Karan tours with her band Niamh Dunne, Sean Óg Graham and Niall Vallely.

Karan’s latest album “Nine Apples of Gold” was released to great critical acclaim in February 2023. It has received extensive radio play on both sides of the Atlantic reaching No 1 on the US Folk radio charts for the month of March 2023.

The show will begin with a potluck dinner and social hour at 6 p.m., with music starting at 7 p.m. and is open to guests of all ages. A $20-30 donation is suggested.
