Paul Brady
Bio:

Born in Northern Ireland, Paul Brady has been a part of the professional music scene for almost four decades. He drew early inspiration from the traditional Irish music of the mid-1960s. Paul’s recording career began with a group called The Johnstons, with whom he performed until the early 1970s when he became a member of the Irish folk band, Planxty. Eventually, Paul began a highly successful solo career, and throughout the 1980s and early 1990s he released five critically acclaimed albums. In February 2005, Paul released Say What You Feel, his first studio album in four years. Bonnie Raitt has recorded several of Paul's songs and made a vocal appearance on the song “Doin' It In The Dark”. Raitt has been quoted as saying, “Paul Brady is certainly one of the most underrated of our brilliant singer/songwriters, and his melodic sense is the best of anyone I’ve heard. For me, where he’s coming from – his music, lyrics, and soul – are on a level of the greatest songwriters.” Other professed admirers of Paul's work include Bono and Bob Dylan, who stated, “Some guys got it down, Leonard Cohen, Lou Reed, and Paul Brady, my secret heroes."

Currently, Paul is enjoying success with the sensationally successful Celtic Woman project and the recently released CD/DVD combo set, which features his composition "The Island".
