Terry Kane grew up in a proud community of Irish-Americans who had emmigrated to Addison, NY from Ireland at the time of the potato famine. The youngest of 11 children, she can’t remember a day without song and dance; harmonizing with her mother and siblings. Tap dancing and square dancing were also a part of every week but Terry’s mother was proudest of her grandfather’s Irish step dancing and the history of set dancing the family continued among the local Irish farmers on “Paddy’s Hill.” Terry received many honors in her high school choir and band programs and went on to pursue a music teaching career, performing in the 1980 Winter Olympic Choir and earning her Master’s degree from Crane School of Music in Potsdam, NY. After years of teaching music in public schools, she now teaches privately. She is featured on 5 traditional Irish CDs, singing and accompanying herself on guitar and mandolin. Since moving to the Perkiomen Valley over 25 years ago, her main focus has been to study the Irish language locally and traveling to Ireland many times. She currently is teaching a class “Introduction to the Irish Language” for Celtic Cultural Alliance in Bethlehem and performs monthly at the Irish Center in Philadelphia and Molly Maguire’s Restaurant in Phoenixville as well as several times a week at private events across the Mid-Atlantic States www.terrykanesings.com.
