Who We Are

 HAPPY 2010 FROM GIRSA!

What an eventful year 2009 has been.  We are truly blessed to have had so many wonderful performing opportunities and to have met so many supporters.  Releasing the CD was a whirlwind experience, as was playing at so many incredible venues.  We are preparing next year's schedule and are excited to have added the Dublin, OH and Milwaukee Irish Festivals!  Thank you for being a part of this wonderful ride.

Girsa is an all-female traditional Irish band that hails from Pearl River, NY.  Their name means "young girls" in Gaelic.  The girls grew up in the Irish tradition, dancing and playing music for as long as they can remember.  After playing with each other for years, the girls formed a band and have not looked back since.  Their debut CD was released in March.

  People Are Talking!

"The combined talents of these girls is frightening...they are a force to be reckoned with!"

  - Joanie Madden, of Cherish the Ladies

"This music is simply exquisite...these young ladies have a refreshing sound that shows a deep, abiding respect for the tradition."

  - Brian Conway, renowned Irish fiddler

"Cherish has reproduced!"

  - Eileen Condon

"Generational gaps evaporate in Irish traditional music. It welcomes performers of all ages who respect its history, cultural continuity, and communal vitality. The members of Girsa understand that. You can see it in their faces and posture as they perform with heart, joy, and pride."
