Steve Yusko our host interviews Andy Clooney, a native Long Islander who is an ambassador of Irish American music for the United States and abroad. Steve gets to know his guest's roots and inspiration.  Andy Cooney has nine Carnegie Hall sellouts under his belt and filled The David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center with The New York Tenors. His outstanding voice and dynamic stage presence have long been a favorite among young and old alike. His talent and versatility provide the ability to deliver a song directly to the hearts of his audience; Andy is surely one of the greatest singing sensations on the Irish Music scene today. Christened Irish America’s Favorite Son by The New York Times, it is a title he richly deserves. Andy Cooney is one of The New York Tenors, along with New York Italian Tenor Christopher Macchio & New York Puerto Rican Tenor Daniel Rodriquez, a trio that has been receiving high critical acclaim for several years. Andy has recorded 19 albums to date, including Bright Brand-New Day with Phil Coulter and his Orchestra. Andy and Phil frequently tour together and in March 2017, completed a three-week tour of the US. Cooney’s latest CD, Irish Country Skyline, was released in the summer of 2016 as a journey back to his Country music roots. This release has been getting huge airplay all over Ireland and the UK with his hit singles On the Eighth Day and My Rose of Ballinrobe, both his own compositions.  2020 turned out to be an unusual year where  Coronavirus shut down the music industry.  In 2020, Andy managed to release 4 new singles during the pandemic, “Take Me Back To Dublin”, “We’re All In This Together” with his son Ryan, “Come Tennessee Me Tonight” with Country Music legend Larry Gatlin and his latest single release in November 2020, “The Waltz of the Angels”.    Andy Cooney is also known for his Cruise of Irish Stars which annually draws over 1,000 Irish and Irish Americans on a Caribbean Cruise enriched with the finest Irish entertainment including the great Ronan Tynan.

Cooney is a musician, songwriter, vocalist, and complete entertainer. With his Irish charm and good looks, Andy is a true professional who brings the best of Irish entertainment on every tour. Andy Cooney maintains a mailing list of over 48,000 fans & maintains an extremely busy website with countless daily hits. Andy and his band receive the highest reviews wherever they perform; whether playing before a packed theater or at a family gathering, his feelings are the same: I still feel as though I’m singing for my family… the room is just a little bigger.
