Since her acclaimed seven year tenure as lead singer of Cherish the Ladies, the Detroit born Ryan has established herself as one of Celtic Music's most popular and enduring singer-songwriters. The Boston Globe recently wrote, "Cathie Ryan is a thrilling traditional vocalist whose honey-pure soprano is equally at home on probing original ballads about a woman's place in the modern world.

"[Cathie Ryan's] clear voice is equally at home with the lilt of the Gaelic sean nos and the Motown groove of her home city…her own songs have a strength and charm rooted in the combination of these influences, her subjects the histories and lives of real people...Ryan's intimate, quietly passionate voice draws the listener into her world." - BBC Radio 2
