On their seventh studio album “A Time To Grow”, the three McLaughlin sisters Karen, Lorna and Joleen prove once again that they are one of the leading folk ensembles on the Emerald Isle with their heavenly, polyphonic harmony vocals and their fresh, modern approach. The musicians don't think much of old braids: they have a lot of fun crossing genre boundaries. Flirt charmingly with pop, bluegrass and Americana sounds without losing sight of the great Irish folk tradition. In addition to Clannad, the musicians also count the Beach Boys among their great artistic role models!

“A Time To Grow” was produced by renowned producer Tommy McLaughlin. “Working with Tommy McLaughlin was a transformative experience for us,” says Karen of The Henry Girls. “This album reflects our evolution as musicians and our desire to make music that inspires and speaks to people on a deep emotional level. “

Karen McLaughlin (fiddle, vocals), Lorna McLaughlin (vocals, accordion) and Joleen McLaughlin (harp, piano, vocals) live and work in their picturesque hometown of Malin, located on the Inish Eoghain peninsula in North Donegal in northwest Ireland, where, by the way also come from Clannad.
