Hello, and welcome! Explore my web site to find out how I can provide beautiful music for Celtic harp, voice, and flutes for your concert series, wedding, or private event.

I'm a solo artist, singing and playing the Celtic harp, along with lively tin whistle and Irish flute tunes.

My concerts are varied, with lots of impromptu stage patter and interesting tidbits that make it more than just the usual beautiful Celtic harp show. I perform for all types of audiences, with music from Ireland, Scotland, and America from the past three centuries, plus the occasional original song.

I'm also a member of several duos, providing different types of music for concerts and private events:

Mary Kay Mann and John Lionarons - traditional and pub Irish and American folk music with lots of strings

Al and Mary Kay Mann - our father/daughter vocal/piano duo!

Al and Mary Kay Mann

One of the neatest things I've been doing is my father/daughter duo with my Dad, Al Mann.

We do two types of programs:

• Love Songs from the 40's and 50's - Dad sings, and I accompany him on piano. He's a wonderful singer and entertainer, charming the audiences between songs with his stories about the music.

• Love Songs Throughout The Centuries - I sing Celtic and American romantic songs from the 16th through 19th centuries, and Dad sings his favorites from the 20th century.

We've performed these programs for libraries, historical societies, and retirement facilities throughout DE, NJ, and PA.

Mary Kay Mann and John Lionarons

John plays more instruments than you can imagine, with a quick wit to boot. He's an award-winning hammered dulcimer player, sings, and plays piano, guitar, fiddle, whistle, accordian, and bodhran (Irish drum) as well. Together, we fill the stage with a huge variety of instruments, and we fill the hall with the upbeat sounds of Celtic and American folk music.

We can also perform in colonial or Renaissance costume for specially-themed events.
