Ronan Tynan and Judy Collins Come to St. George Theatre, 3/24

 Come to the St. George Theatre for An Evening with Ronan Tynan and Judy Collins on Saturday, March 24^th.

Introduced to international audiences as a member of the Irish Tenors, Ronan Tynan has sung at many auspicious occasions, including George H.W. Bush’s birthday, the Belmont Stakes, and dozens of Yankee Stadium events. Born with a lower limb disability, both legs were amputated below the knee at age 20, yet he went on to win 18 Gold Medals and set 14 World Records in the Paralympics. Then he became a full-fledged medical doctor. He didn’t start voice lessons until he was in his 30s and within a year won three major voice competitions. Tynan’s 2004 solo album debuted at #2 on the charts.

Judy Collins made her public debut at age 13 performing Mozart's "Concerto for Two Pianos", but it was the music of such artists as Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, as well as the traditional songs of the folk revival, that sparked Judy Collins' love of lyrics. She soon moved away from the classical piano and began her lifelong love with the guitar. In 1961, Judy Collins released her first album, A Maid of Constant Sorrow. Judy Collins is also noted for her rendition of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" on her classic 1967 album, Wildflowers. "Both Sides Now" has since been entered into the Grammy's Hall of Fame. Winning "Song of the Year" at the 1975 Grammy Awards show was Judy's version of "Send in the Clowns", a ballad written by Stephen Sondheim for the Broadway musical "A Little Night Music."
