Chloe has announced she will be appearing at the Youngstown Cultural Arts Center in Seattle on March 20th. :)

I'm definitely interested in going, but I'm wondering. What songs does she sing in her concerts these days? I've found some videos, but most of them are duets. Unless she brings someone with her, one would expect the duets to be eliminated, for the most part. Also, does she have any plans to make a new solo album? I literally have no idea what to expect. I assume she would sing stuff she used to sing with CW, especially since it's advertised for St. Patrick's day. Since the tickets are really cheap, I'm seriously considering going, but it would be nice to have an idea of what she even sings these days. Thanks. :)

Chloe had a concert in Dublin last month.  I saw a review on Facebook.  I don't know if she would sing the same songs in Seattle.  She has posted that she was writing songs, hopefully for a new album.  You could ask her on Twitter and see if she answers.

This song is so beautiful. https://youtu.be/H2bkjWsC7GU

Well, I replied to Dermot's tweet which was also directed at Chloe, and asked if he was joining her in Seattle, but no answer. He showed a ticket for the LA show, and said something about "our St. Paddy's day celebrations", so I couldn't tell if he just meant he'd be attending, which the ticket seems to suggest, or if he'd actually be performing with her.

Do any of you know how to tell if he's going? Would the venues mention it if she had a guest?

 I just visited  her  new  website  and  her  Face book  fan page  and  she  offers  no  clue  about  that  in  either  place.  Will  keep my  eyes  peeled.     :-\

I saw her new website too. I tried asking them on twitter, but they don't respond (which I wasn't necessarily counting on, but I thought I'd try). She did post a video asking for requests for Irish songs for her to sing, so at least now that gave me some idea of what types of songs to expect. Also, Dermot was playing the piano in the background, so I would have to assume he's included.

I think I'll probably buy tickets soon, anyway, because I really would like to see her live again, since I haven't seen her since my last CW concert in 2010. Plus, the tickets are really cheap, and I'd love to support her in Seattle, so hopefully she'll come back other times, too. I'm glad to see that she loves Seattle! Does she have relatives there, or does she just like it there because it rains as much as it probably  does in Ireland?  :D

I do hope to see Chloe soon.

Already have my tickets with m&g passes. Should be a great evening.

We are going to Portland show!!

I got my tickets the other day, and Dermot finally responded. It sounds like he's going, too! I hope that means he sings with her a bit, that would be nice.

I think this instagram post confirms that he's singing with her for these concerts. It says "with special guest Irish tenor Dermot Kiernan". :)

Tonight's the night! I'll post a report and pics, if I get any good ones, as soon as I can. :)

Have a great time! :)

I'm replying to this a bit late, but for her solo concerts are just her and Dermot. And the duets between her and Dermot are certainly not to be missed; their voices work together absolutely beautifully. She sang a bunch of Irish songs, and a few songs she sang with CW, such as Galway Bay, Isle of Hope and a few others I think. Suffice it to say, her solo concert is definitely super excellent. :)

Well, I thought I was lucky to have heard Isle of Hope, because she said it had been requested by someone during the Meet & Greet. So I thought that meant she wouldn't have performed it otherwise. Maybe she was just mentioning it so that the guy who requested it would feel special, even if she'd already planned to sing it, anyway.

I wasn't sure about the photo dimensions guidelines here, or how to re-size my photos here, so I'm posting a link to my post on the Hayley official forum, where I know how to re-size them:

Now I'll tell you a little about the concert. First off, the concert began with a bang... literally! When Chloe walked up onto the stage, Dermot's music stand attached to his keyboard promptly fell to floor, his music in a mess! LOL She then informed us that they had also had a flat tire along the way, and she joked about the luck of the Irish. This happened a second time, during the second half of the show. She was singing her original song when it went splat on the floor again! Chloe feigned annoyance at her love for disrupting her performance, saying she was in the middle of selling her soul. At one point she gave him a sweet smile as if she wasn't mad after all, and then promptly turned to us with a deep and disapproving, but obviously not serious, frown on her face. It was all very amusing.

Not only did she sing the folk type songs we're accustomed to from CW, she also sang one original song, and some current songs that have been made famous by Irish artists or Irish musical productions. Dermot Kiernan played piano and guitar and sang with her quite a bit, as well. He even sang one song while she took a "breather" after the Rattlin' Bog, which was a very taxing song to sing. The song he sang was called Cavan Girl.

Here are some songs that I remember, not necessarily in order:

No Frontiers
Galway Bay
Isle of Hope
Raglan Road
Danny Boy
Irish song medley, which included Mo Ghile Mear and Spanish Lady, and I'll Tell Me Ma
Rattlin' Bog
Falling Slowly
All I Want
Chasing Cars (which is much lovelier than it sounds)
The Gathering (original by Chloe)
You Raise Me Up
When Irish Eyes are Smiling (encore)

I may have forgotten one or two, but that's all I can remember. I was a little disappointed not to hear My Lagan Love, after one description of upcoming concerts listed it as one we might expect to hear.

At the table just outside the theatre entrance door, there were stacks of a Chloe album called Heartstrings, which I was not aware even existed! I'll take a picture of it and post it sometime soon, so you can all see the tracklisting that way. I'm not sure when it came out and I don't remember seeing it on Amazon when I recently did a search, and is not even available from her website (which you can only get to through a link on her FB page, here: www.chloeagnewofficial.com/).  

I wanna try Chloe's composition of "The Gathering". How will I hear it?
