The CorrsMan's Corrs Tribute
Welcome to my tribute to the Corrs.  I first discovered this highly talented band in 1999.  While flipping through the channels, I came across a concert on PBS for St. Patrick's Day.  Suddenly, I remembered hearing one of their songs, "Runaway" four years earlier.  Recalling this, I decided to continue watching the program and was blown away by the unique music I was hearing.  I was hooked instantly.  A few weeks later, their album "Talk On Corners" was released in the United States.  I bought the album and the rest is history.  I am now a die hard fan!  Last year, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to witness the Corrs in concert.  They were in Pittsburgh for the "B-94 Summer Stretch Concert".  The concert featured a variety of other artists including Splendor, Smash Mouth, Macey Gray, The Baha Men, and Fast Ball.  I, however, went specificlly to see the Corrs.  They were amazing!  Better yet, I was also able to get an autograph from Sharon Corr.  Just to put it into perspective, this group is ten times more beautiful in person than in pictures.  To be within arm's length of the world's greatest band still ranks as the greatest thrill of my life...  I must thank my sister, Sheila, for that. :-)
Andrea Corr:
Lead vocals/ penny wistle.
Andrea is the youngest of the group.  She was born in 1974.  Her voice is a major reason this band is so great!
Caroline Corr:
Drums/ percussion.
The second youngest at the age of 27, Caroline's beauty extends into her ability to play an awesome rythm.
Sharon Corr:
Violin/ back up vocals.
The eldest female member of the group at 30, Sharon mezmorizes listeners with almost heavenly chords from her violin.
Jim Corr:
Guitar/ keyboard.
Finally, Jim, 36, is probably the most overlooked member of the group.  He is, however, a very important factor in the group's success, for he has been involved with producing many of the band's songs.
