The Henry Girls are a marvelous trio of three sisters from Malin: Karen, Lorna and Joleen McLaughlin. They are great songwriters and have gorgeous super-tight three-part harmonies that come partly from the sisterhood bond that they share as well as their lengthy musical history.
Twenty years of gracing stages together, this trio interweaves their native traditions with bluegrass, jazz and country, and are one of Ireland’s top emerging folk acts. With the harp as their main accompaniment, their shimmering harmonies weave a continuous spell throughout their music. They have become one of the most talked about folk/roots acts to come out of Ireland, now captivating audiences on worldwide stages having toured in Germany, America, Sweden, Italy, Switzerland, Holland, Austria and the UK.
They are natural performers and are known for their warm personalities, onstage and off. Each performance from The Henry Girls is like a masterclass in harmonies and instrumental mastery with a considerable dose of magical charm that combines to deliver a musical experience that you never want to end and will never forget.
'These sisters have a sensational talent. The quality of their harmony singing goes beyond mere technique. They possess an unerring ability to blend tone and resonance in a seamless fashion.'
- Eamon Carr, The Evening Herald (IRL)
'Ireland might have to finally share its pride and joy with the rest of us...it's time for America to discover the Henry Girls'
- Huffington Post (USA)
'Blending Irish and American roots styles with the retro sounds of close harmony groups of the '40s & '50s, The Henry Girls have forged a sound of their own.’
- Hot Press Magazine (IRL)
