Album Notes

"Healy is unafraid to amuse listeners in any way possible and throws herself into stories with gusto." - Audiofile Magazine

"Listening to "Blarney!" is like sitting in a pub and hearing story after story, interspersed with a little music. You decide what's true and what's not in this seamless journey of truth, imaginings and mythological adventures. "- News & Reviews, Suzanna Holstein

Rollicking kids’ tales, weird Celtic legends, outrageous family lore, or thought-provoking adult fare: whether it’s blarney or beyond, this American and Irish storyteller opens windows to life, as real and touching as it gets. Funny, too!
