Emmet'sDimples

Everyone that knows me well knows that once you get me talking about Emmet Cahill you can’t get me to shut up about it. Everyone at my new job already knows how much I adore him and how excited I am that I get to see him in March. The most common question I get is why do I love him so much? I’m not sure why it matters but if you really want the reason this is why…

I will never forget the very first time that I met this charming and unbelievably kind person. He was new to Celtic Thunder and I was lucky enough to have the chance to meet him. He was actually the very first autograph I got from anyone in Celtic Thunder. What impressed me was that I didn’t even have to ask he just told me to come over and say hi. I’ve obviously met him several times over since then but that first meeting is the one that always sticks out in my mind. Last year I was lucky enough to celebrate my birthday at one of his shows with my best friend. She surprised me by asking him to sing happy birthday to me and that is a memory that I will forever cherish complete with the video recording she sent me of it.

I’ve met other artists before but what’s different about Emmet is that you get the sense that he genuinely loves interacting with his fans. Some artists make you feel like it’s a bother to them to interact with the people who are the reason they are where they are. Not once in any time that I’ve interacted with Emmet has he ever made me feel like it’s a pain to him to take time to say hi to his fans. He never makes you feel like you’re a burden to him and always let’s you know how grateful he is to have your support.

He has a truly incredible voice and that is one of the other reasons I fell in love with listening to his music. I grew up with a mother and a grandmother who absolutely loved musicals. Which in turn made me love musicals and Broadway. When I hear Emmet sing these songs from Sound of Music and Les Miserables it gets me. As much as I love me some Taylor Swift I also do love listening to musicals and I love listening to music from Sinatra. I took vocal lessons for many years and was in chorus until I graduated high school. I know how much hard work it takes to perfect your voice and even when you think it’s perfect you still want it to be better.
