The devoted fans of the internationally acclaimed vocal phenomenon, Celtic Woman, have once again come out to support the group’s newest project, BELIEVE, leading to their sixth consecutive #1 debut on Billboard’s World Music Chart, and a #1 debut on the Top Internet Album Chart. BELIEVE, which consists of an enchanting studio album and companion live concert DVD, also debuted at #13 on the Top 200 Chart and #2 on the Top DVD Music Video Chart (following Adele).

Celtic Woman is the all-female singing sensation featuring vocalists Chloë Agnew, Lisa Lambe, Lisa Kelly and Celtic violinist Máiréad Nesbitt, performing classic Irish songs (“The Water Is Wide,” “Green Grow the Rushes,” “A Woman’s Heart,” “The Parting Glass”), timeless pop anthems (“Bridge Over Troubled Water,” “Sailing”), and inspirational songs (“You’ll Never Walk Alone,” “Ave Maria”) with their signature Celtic Woman twist, under the distinct musical direction of Emmy-nominated music producer, David Downes. The live concert DVD was filmed for the first time in America during two sold-out nights at The Fox Theatre (Atlanta, GA) in Sept 2011.

Celtic Woman will embark on their 60-city BELIEVE: LIVE US tour on February 3rd in Nashville, TN. They will travel across the U.S. and end up in Las Vegas on April 29 before heading to Europe. The 2012 tour features newest member Susan McFadden (replacing Lisa Kelly on the tour) and the addition of a renowned championship Irish dancer, Craig Ashurst. Highlights include multiple nights in Boston, Chicago and Memphis, St. Patrick’s Day in Connecticut, and performances at Radio City Music Hall in NYC on March 11 and Nokia Theater Live in Los Angeles on April 28.  For tour dates go to www.celticwoman.com.

Celtic Woman debuted on Public Television in March 2005 where they quickly emerged as a top attraction for the network. The group distinguished their sound as a transcendental force and their spectacular live shows embody a radiance and purity that connects with their adoring fanbase. Those fans have shown their commitment over the years, leading to sales of more than 6.5 million Celtic Woman CDs/DVDs and over 2 million concert tickets sold globally. Their continued support of BELIEVE will further Celtic Woman’s presence in the US and worldwide.
