Aoife Clancy is a Vocalist and Instrumentalist who was born and raised in Co Tipperary Ireland. She grew up in a family steeped in music, as her father Bobby Clancy was a member of the group The Clancy Brothers who became famous in the States performing Irish music in the 1960’s.

Aoife learned how to play the Guitar at an early age and by the age of sixteen was performing with her father in folk clubs and festivals around Ireland. She moved to the States in 1990 and was asked to join the well renowned Irish American Ensemble Cherish the Ladies out of NY City, where she performed over 200 dates a year touring the States and Europe. The group went on to record under RCA Victor and were nominated for a Grammy on a live recording with the Boston Pops titled The Celtic Album under conductor Keith Lockhart. Aoife also featured as a soloist with the Boston Pops and other symphonies throughout the US.
She has many CD’s under her belt. Three solo projects and several with Cherish the Ladies. Aoife also toured with her cousins Robbie O’Connell and Donal Clancy as part of The Clancy Legacy and was a founding member of the group The Jammin Divas. These days, she runs her own cooking and music events where she prepares delish food along with a short performance of music and stories of her upbringing in the Clancy household.

Aoife now spends her time between North Carolina and the South Coast of Massachusetts.
