We are a female trio of singing musicians with an extensive repertoire of Irish music with the influence of American Folk groups and amazing vocal harmonies! We can fill your ceremony or event with angelic sacred music or Irish ballads. And we can easily transition into cocktail hours and parties with fun Celtic dancing and drinking songs!
We are happy to take requests too... even for *gasp* non-Irish music. 😉🍀
Just a wonderful array of songs with unbelievable harmonized vocals, an array of musical instruments that made for a special day. If your looking for an event to get the Irish in yourself and your guests going, look no further.
Response from Galway Girls:
Thank you so much Mike! It was our pleasure - thanks for thinking through all the details!
The Galway Girls played our St. Patrick’s dance and everyone thought they were great. They played a mix of tradition Irish music and added in some Cranberries and U2.
Our only issue was the acoustics in our venue were terrible- not the bands doing- but they worked to make some slight adjustments to the speaker and volume, it was fixed.
Total professionals and Janice was very helpful with the communications.

Their cover of Mrs. McGrath, Rare Old Times, and The Streets of Dublin are my absolute FAVORITE versions. If you have the chance, book them. You will not regret it I promise you that!
The Galway Girls have put on two amazing performances at our Theatre (Hedgerow Theatre) and each performance ended with the audience standing with approval and asking for more. These young artist are so talented with their singing and instument playing. They all have great stage presence and personalities. We can not wait to have The Galway Girls back at Hedgerow.
We had the Galway Girls perform for St Patrick's Day/Irish Weekend events, they put on a fantastic show of traditional celtic music. Lively, fun and definitely got the crowd singing and clapping along.
The Galway Girls are glorious! Aside from being remarkably talented and providing a fantastic and unique experience for their audience/listeners, they are kind, professional, efficient, and wonderful to work with. Make no hesitations in booking them for any event you may be having - they are a guaranteed hit!
