Red Hurley

‘How Great Thou Art’

Album and single UK release on October 5^th 2009

“These songs of Red have moved me greatly. He sings to me, down in my soul” - Dr. Maya Angelou

Irish national treasure releases inspirational album following phenomenal response from Terry Wogan’s Radio 2 listeners

When Terry Wogan played Red Hurley’s recording of ‘How Great Thou Art’ on his Radio 2 breakfast show the station was inundated with emails from listeners enthusing about the record – “Dave the HGV driver on the M27” had to “pull over while the song was been played it had touched him so much." A subsequent play a few days later elicited a similarly enthusiastic response from both the listeners and Terry who pronounced that Red has “a magnificent, tremendous voice”

A prolific hit maker in his native Ireland, Red has spent an impressive total of 140 weeks on the Irish charts. During the last year he has recorded with various choirs in Ireland, Africa and the U.S. for the album ‘How Great Thou Art’ which was initially planned as an American-only release. However due to the phenomenal response the record company has released the album and title track in England on October 5th 2009.

Red with his rich powerful voice has been compared to many successful contemporary artists but ‘How Great Thou Art’ highlights Red’s breathtaking, individual performance perfectly. Without a doubt a song of inspiration and unquestionably a song of peace and reassuring solace, ‘How Great Thou Art’ is but one example of the treats that are to be found on this new album.

Red’s emerging profile in the U.S. seems to be the icing on the cake for a career which has taken off in a global way over the last couple of years. His concerts have been sold out on both Irish and U.S. shores and his albums are increasingly well received. His appearances on Irish and American national television are regular highlights whilst the PBS television broadcast of his last concert in Dublin introduced him to millions of new fans.

Without doubt this new album through its inspiring melodies and lyrics will touch emotional chords for listeners of all ages. As 2009 progresses, Red will continue to entertain his large fan base around the world through his live shows and media appearances.

Red is currently working with Dr Angelou on a new DVD and C.D. for release in the U.S. in January and is her Special Guest artist at a private “invite only concert” to be staged at Saks 5^th Avenue New York on the 4^th November 2009.

“Art makes us human and true art can make us truer to who we can be as human beings. The song, the poem, the dance, the painting may be beautiful but they truly move us only if they express emotional truths. These songs of Red have moved me greatly. He sings to me, down in my soul. - Dr. Maya Angelou, America’s Poet Laureate & Pulitzer Prize Winner
