Máiréad is now a pop culture icon! The famous comedy show SNL parodied Máiréad along with Celtic Woman making them modern cultural icons.
Growing up in a multi-generational musical family in County Tipperary, her parents are renown music educators and all five of her siblings are award winning musicians!
A former all-Ireland fiddle champion and past member of the National Youth Orchestra of Ireland, Máiréad completed her studies at CIT, Cork School of Music under Cornelia Zanidache and at the London Royal Academy, with post-graduate studies under Emanuel Hurwitz on violin and piano. As musical influences, Máiréad cites her family, along with a wide range of musicians that includes classical violinist Itzhak Perlman, jazz great Stephane Grappelli, bluegrass icon Alison Krauss, Irish fiddlers Liz Carroll, Michael Coleman and Andy McGann, and rock performers like David Bowie, Sting and Bjork.
Hailed as “A demon of a fiddle player” by the NY Times, Máiréad has emerged as one of Ireland’s most in-demand musicians. Her multitude of awards include Irish Music Magazine’s Best Traditional and Multi-Instrumentalist Artist awards.
Máiréad’s solo albums, Raining Up and Hibernia, have charted on four different Billboard charts. The album Devil’s Bit Sessions features three generations of her family and was recorded in the three-hundred-year-old Nesbitt family home in County Tipperary, Ireland.
Máiréad began her professional career at sixteen with the prestigious RTÉ Concert Orchestra. Despite her young age, Máiréad’s playing was featured on the original soundtracks of the shows Riverdance, Lord of the Dance and Feet of Flames, resulting in touring the world as the lead fiddler with the latter two shows. She composed the original music score for the show Irish Dance Invasion, is featured on the Celtic Tenors’ Live in Concert DVD and is the featured violin soloist on the soundtracks of two Disney films, Tinker Bell and Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure.
Máiréad’s distinctive blend of traditional Irish and classical styles is featured in her works with such international artists as: Nigel Kennedy, Van Morrison, Sinéad O’Connor, Clannad, Emmylou Harris, Aslan, Chris De Burgh, Jimmy Webb, Sharon Shannon, Paul Brady, Frances Black, Cooney and Begley, Jimmy McCarthy and Dónal Lunny’s Coolfin.
Máiréad has performed at both the White House and the Pentagon for four U.S. presidents. Additionally, among the hundreds of famous venues where she has performed are Carnegie Hall, Radio City Music Hall, Red Rocks Colorado and Hyde Park in London.

What an amazing show with the incredibly talented Mairead Nesbitt! Such a beautiful person inside and out. Always love listening to her music. Hope to see you soon Mairead! Thanks Jim for having her back. Loved it!!
I was watching, this afternoon, about 12 hours after the recording. Enjoying every moment Jim. Then horror of horrors, the screening locked up for some reason. I just left it on pause while I played 2 CW DVD's - Destiny, our Máiréad Nesbitt's last DVD appearance with CW until now, followed by Homecoming with Tara, who I remember as harper in Destiny. By that time your show still wasn't playing so paused for 'Devil's Bit Sessions', both the audio and the lovely visual. AND FINALLY YOUR SHOW WILL PLAY - HOORAY. It's great.♥♥♥
😊💘😊
