Celtic Woman 'Greatest Journey' album

Celtic Woman knows what it means to pursue a dream. With voices like angels, the 5 Irish female ensemble have been uplifting audiences of all ages with their PBS TV specials, popular concert tours and with their latest album "The Greatest Journey.” Most recently they were seen by 23 million viewers on Dancing With The Stars (ABC TV) when they performed the Brendan Graham original "You Raise Me Up.” Also written by Brendan Graham and exclusively for Celtic Woman is the patriotic song "Oh America" that has been a highlight of the group's current 75-date Isle of Hope concert tour. Due to overwhelming demand from their fans, the song will be released as a digital download and ringtune on June 23.

As the youngest member Chloe explained to the audience at a recent concert, "'Oh America’ is a dedication to the first country to welcome us as Celtic Woman. You are our true inspiration! We feel as though we are part of your family now and for that we are very honored and proud."

In just four short years, the group has sold more than 4 million CDs and DVDs, played seven US tours, and performed for more than 800,000 people. Meanwhile, the three Celtic Woman PBS Specials have aired more than 13,658 times on 685 PBS stations across the country, covering 97% of US television households. The group will continue to perform "Oh America" in their Isle of Hope tour that runs through July. ‘Oh America’ will also be included on the group’s upcoming PBS TV special scheduled to premiere on the network in December.
