Andy Cooney Releases ‘Everybody’s Irish (You Know That Way)’ Music Video

The new music video for “Everybody’s Irish (You Know That Way)” is the St. Patrick’s Day anthem nobody knew they needed — until now.

MASSAPEQUA PARK, NY, UNITED STATES, March 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Andy Cooney, the Long Island-born entertainer christened “Irish America’s Favorite Son” by The New York Times, has released the music video for his new single, “Everybody’s Irish (You Know That Way).” The video, directed by Emmy winning filmmaker Kieran McGirl, arrives just in time for St. Patrick’s Day and captures the joyful, inclusive spirit that has made Cooney a beloved fixture on the Irish-American entertainment scene for over 35 years.

The song is a celebratory anthem built on a simple, universal truth — on St. Patrick’s Day, it doesn’t matter where you’re from. The video brings that message to life with the warmth, humor, and infectious energy that Cooney’s fans have come to love.

“People send me songs all the time to record,” Says Andy Cooney. “And I listen to every one of them — you never know when you’ll find a great one. A writer from the Bay Area, Darrin Mazzilli, sent me this song he began writing in Santa Monica on St. Patrick’s Day, 1986. Here we are, 40 years later, and it’s finally seeing the light of day!”

The release marks the latest chapter in a remarkable career that includes 20 albums, eight sold-out performances at Carnegie Hall, and collaborations with country legends Larry Gatlin and Crystal Gayle. Cooney has performed alongside Ronan Tynan and The Irish Tenors and was a founding member of The New York Tenors. His recordings have earned significant airplay throughout Ireland and the UK, and his annual “Cruise of Irish Stars” — now in its 28th year — draws over 1,000 fans each year for a Caribbean celebration of Irish music and culture.

Cooney is currently on the road with his 2026 Irish Celebration Tour, featuring comedian George Casey, Emerald Fire Dance, and The Guinness Irish Band.

Remaining March tour dates are:
• March 10 — Danversport Yacht Club, Danvers, MA
• March 11 — The Argyle Theatre, Babylon, NY
• March 12 — St. Anne’s McCloskey Auditorium, Garden City, NY
• March 14 — The Wayne Theatre, Waynesboro, VA
• March 15 — Theater at North, Scranton, PA
• March 16–20 — Hunterdon Hills Playhouse, Hampton, Nj
• March 21 — The Paramount Theater, Middletown, NY
• March 22 — Our Lady of Angels ~ Msgr. Kevin B Noone Auditorium, Brooklyn, NY

Tickets Available at: www.andycooney.com.

The music video can be viewed on YouTube and at www.andycooney.com and coming to streaming platforms soon.

About Andy Cooney

Andy Cooney has been singing Irish songs literally all his life. One of nine children raised in a deeply rooted Irish-American household on Long Island, he was inspired by his Dublin-born grandfather, Andy Feehan, an Irish tenor who instilled in him a lifelong love of Irish music. Cooney turned professional at age 17 and has never looked back.

Over a career spanning more than three decades, he has recorded 20 albums, performed sold-out shows at Carnegie Hall eight times, and appeared on the stages of Lincoln Center and The National Concert Hall in Dublin. He has collaborated with country legends Larry Gatlin and Crystal Gayle, performed alongside Ronan Tynan and The Irish Tenors, and co-founded The New York Tenors. His recordings have earned significant airplay throughout Ireland and the UK, and his fan base of over 35,000 makes him one of the most recognized names in Irish-American entertainment.

Cooney is also the founder and host of the Annual Cruise of Irish Stars, now in its 28th year, which brings over 1,000 fans together each year for a Caribbean celebration of Irish music and culture. He hosts the podcast Andy Cooney’s NY Irish Music Hour and remains one of the most active and in-demand performers on the Irish-American circuit.

St. Louis Indie Pop & R&B Artist Taya Elle Announces New Single ‘Rainy Days’ Releasing March 20

The rising indie pop and soul artist continues building momentum with a deeply vulnerable new release arriving March 20.

Rainy Days is my confession and my conversation with God during one of the most painful realizations of my life — that I grew up without love being spoken or shown.”
— Taya Elle

ST. LOUIS, MO, UNITED STATES, March 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Rising indie pop and soul artist Taya Elle is preparing to release her deeply personal new single “Rainy Days” on March 20, a powerful record that explores emotional healing, self-discovery, and the quiet hope that can emerge from life’s most painful realizations.

Known for blending English and Spanish lyrics with intimate storytelling, Taya Elle continues to carve out a distinctive space in the indie pop and R&B landscape. Her music is defined by velvet-smooth vocals, hypnotic melodies, and emotional authenticity that resonates with listeners navigating their own personal journeys.

Her upcoming single, “Rainy Days,” dives even deeper into vulnerability, confronting childhood emotional absence and the lasting impact it can leave behind.

“Rainy Days is my confession and my conversation with God during one of the most painful realizations of my life — that I grew up without love being spoken or shown,” says Taya Elle. “When affection is absent, you don’t learn warmth… you learn confusion. You carry coldness instead of comfort. The rain in this song represents that emotional climate — constant, heavy, hard to escape. But even in the downpour, there’s a quiet hope rising beneath it… the belief that healing is still possible, and that love can be learned.”

Taya Elle first captured attention with her debut single “Don’t Love You,” produced by three-time Grammy-nominated producer Joe “Capo” Kent. The track quickly gained traction upon release, climbing the Amazon Music charts and reaching #1 on the New Release Best Sellers chart, marking a significant breakthrough moment for the emerging artist.

Drawing inspiration from artists such as Sade, Sabrina Claudio, and Ariana Grande, Taya’s sound blends atmospheric pop textures with soulful emotion, creating music that feels both intimate and universally relatable.

But Taya Elle’s path to music was anything but conventional.

Before stepping into the recording studio, she was a competitive runner who earned 14 medals, with her athletic career representing both identity and purpose. That path came to an unexpected halt following spinal surgery, forcing her to step away from the sport she had devoted her life to.

What initially felt like the loss of her future ultimately became the beginning of a new one.

During a year of recovery, music became her emotional outlet — a space where she could process heartbreak, frustration, and the silence left behind after losing the only identity she had ever known. What started as a form of healing soon revealed itself as her true calling.

Today, Taya Elle is building a catalog of music defined by emotional depth, vulnerability, and raw honesty, with each release offering listeners a safe place to feel understood.

Her mission as an artist is simple yet powerful: to create music that allows people to feel seen, heard, and emotionally connected.

“Taya Elle is one of those rare artists whose vulnerability translates directly through her music,” says Desirae L. Benson, award-winning entertainment publicist. “Rainy Days isn’t just a song — it’s a deeply human experience that so many people will recognize within themselves. Her ability to turn pain into powerful storytelling is exactly what makes her an artist to watch.”

With “Rainy Days” set to release March 20, Taya Elle continues to establish herself as an emerging voice in indie pop and R&B — one unafraid to explore life’s most complicated emotions while offering listeners something equally powerful in return: hope. Pre-save it now.

FIGHT THE FALL (Andy Cutrell) Signs with Indiegroove Records, Announces Debut Single ‘Maybe Tomorrow’ and Upcoming EP

ANDY CUTRELL Launches FIGHT THE FALL with New Single “MAYBE TOMORROW” on INDIEGROOVE RECORDS.

A lot of people keep saying they’ll deal with things later. This song is a reminder that waiting too long can catch up with you. I wanted the music to hit hard, but also make people stop and think.””
— ANDY CUTRELL

DESTIN, FL, UNITED STATES, March 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Hard rock artist Andy Cutrell has signed with Indiegroove Records and is set to introduce his solo project Fight the Fall with the debut single “Maybe Tomorrow,” arriving April 2026. The track serves as the first release from Fight the Fall’s upcoming self-titled EP, scheduled for release on Indiegroove Records in Summer 2026. Blending driving rock riffs with melodic vocals and reflective songwriting, the project marks the arrival of a new chapter for Cutrell after years of performing, touring, and writing music built on both honesty and hope.

Fight the Fall is built on Cutrell’s passion for strong vocal melodies and guitar-driven rock, and shaped by years of writing, performing, and touring – the project blends elements of ’90s alternative rock and classic hard rock, drawing influence from bands such as Stone Temple Pilots, Foo Fighters, The Police, Foreigner, King’s X, and Fall Out Boy.

The Debut Single “MAYBE TOMORROW” introduces Fight the Fall as a fully realized project, balancing heavy guitars and melody while pointing toward personal perseverance, faith, and reflection.

“Maybe Tomorrow is really about the idea that we all think we have more time than we do,” says Cutrell.

Cutrell’s path to rock music began unexpectedly. As a teenager, he studied voice with plans to pursue musical theater, but his journey quickly shifted toward touring and performing in rock and hardcore scenes. Since 2016, Cutrell has toured and performed with the Christian hardcore band War of Ages, appearing on stages across the United States and internationally in Norway and Sweden. Most recently, he joined War of Ages on the 2025 “There Was a Light Tour”, supporting Demon Hunter during a month-long run across the U.S. West Coast.

Blending ’90s alternative rock influences with modern hard rock energy, Fight the Fall introduces a guitar-driven sound built around melody, reflection, and the urgency of living with purpose.

More information about Fight the Fall, the debut single “Maybe Tomorrow,” and the upcoming Fight the Fall EP can be found through the official media link below. The single will be available on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and all major streaming platforms beginning April 2026.

NATIONAL JAZZ CONTEST OFFERS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN PRIZES

High School Students Can Win Top Prizes Including a Selmer Saxophone

I won a Selmer baritone saxophone last year and it changed my life. I play my bari every day at university. The Jazz Challenge is an incredible platform for students to study Gerry Mulligan’s music.”
— Sam Chung, 2025 Winner

DARIEN, MD, UNITED STATES, March 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — JAZZ CONTEST PROVIDES THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN PRIZES

The Annual “Gerry Mulligan Jazz Challenge” has been announced by the Gerry & Franca Mulligan Foundation. This year, high school musicians are being asked to upload a solo performance video playing one of Gerry Mulligan’s most famous compositions, “Outback of the Barn.” In addition to lead sheets for students, there will also be charts (for every instrument) and an educational video available for teachers – for free. The contest deadline is March 31, 2026. Winners will be announced on April 6 in honor of Gerry’s birthday and Jazz Appreciation Month.

Foundation Board Member and Music Professor Ted Hogarth explains that the melody and chords are provided so high school musicians can learn the melody and perform the song regardless of what instrument they play.

Saxophonist Sam Chung, winner of the 2025 Jazz Challenge adds, “I won a Conn-Selmer baritone saxophone last year and it changed my life. I use the instrument every day in my musical studies at Boyer College of Music at Temple University. The Gerry Mulligan Jazz Challenge is an incredible platform for students to study Gerry’s legacy and have access to his music. I will forever be grateful to the Gerry & Franca Mulligan Foundation.”

While Gerry Mulligan popularized the use of the baritone saxophone as a solo instrument, students can submit “Outback of the Barn” on the instrument of their choice. High school musicians must upload their recorded solo video on YouTube and share the link in their entry form at www.gerryandfrancamulliganfoundation.org. Hands must be shown and it is encouraged to treat the YouTube performance as a real performance so it is advised to use good lighting and introduce yourself. Background music is not encouraged. A team of professional musicians will judge high school musicians on sound, technique, intonation and presentation. Judges must see contestants’ hands.

Franca Mulligan, President of the Gerry & Franca Mulligan Foundation says, “This is an exciting time of year for the Foundation because we can introduce a new audience to Gerry’s music. He would be so pleased.” And while Gerry has adoring admirers worldwide, some of his most famous were Rolling Stones Drummer Charlie Watts who credits Gerry for becoming a musician and former President Bill Clinton, who said, “No one ever played the horn like he did, and no one ever will.”

The Grand Prize of a Selmer Saxophone – Gerry’s favorite instrument – will be awarded for the best entry. Thousands of dollars in grants will also be awarded to first and second-place winners. And NEW in 2026, the teacher who has the most students submit performances will win a new Conn-Selmer Alto Saxophone, valued at $3,000.

About the Gerry & Franca Mulligan Foundation: The Gerry & Franca Mulligan Foundation is a 501(C)(3) charitable foundation, established to fulfill Gerry’s wishes to provide music education, free music to young musicians in need, to donate musical instruments to inner city schools, and perpetuate Gerry’s music. As a composer, arranger, saxophonist, and bandleader, Gerry Mulligan remains one of the greatest of jazz legends. The Library of Congress serves as the repository for the permanent Gerry Mulligan Collection.

One Night Only: Already Gone Presents the Music of the Eagles — River Center Theatre (Mar 13)

Baton Rouge, Mar 13: Already Gone presents the music of the Eagles at River Center Theatre, plus original songs and a post-show meet-and-greet.

We’ve built this show around doing the music justice—fully live, in the original keys—so when people come out, it feels like a real night of music, not a playback.”
— Jay Bourgeois, bassist, Already Gone

BATON ROUGE, LA, UNITED STATES, March 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Already Gone brings a fully live night of Eagles classics and original music to Baton Rouge for the first time, debuting at the Raising Cane’s River Center Theatre on Friday, March 13, 2026 at 7:30 p.m.

The Houston-based rock band is known for an authenticity-first approach—stacked harmonies and guitar work performed live, with Eagles favorites played in their original keys. Audiences can expect iconic songs such as “Hotel California,” “Desperado,” and “Heartache Tonight,” plus select solo cuts and original material, followed by a post-show meet-and-greet in the lobby.

The March 13 performance is designed as an intimate theater-night experience, combining high-energy musicianship with the kind of sing-along moments that have made the Eagles catalog timeless. Alongside the band’s presentation of Eagles hits and select solo material, audiences will also hear original songs—offering a look at Already Gone as a rock band beyond the classics.

Already Gone has been performing live since 2006 and has built a following around a no-shortcuts standard: real vocals, real instruments, and no pre-recorded layers. The band’s commitment to performing songs in their original keys—paired with live harmonies and guitar work—has become a signature draw for fans who want an experience that feels true to the records.

The Baton Rouge debut also features south Louisiana ties, including bassist Jay Bourgeois, a Reserve native and LSU alum (undergraduate and LSU Law), and drummer Leroy St. Pierre, a LaPlace resident. Already Gone’s original music will be in focus this summer with the release of the single “Neverlost” on June 4, followed by the full-length album These American Dreams on July 4.

The March 13 performance is sponsored by Waste Pro. “As a company that serves communities across Louisiana and Texas, Waste Pro is happy to sponsor events that celebrate great local nights out,” said Karisa Tanner, Marketing Administrator for Louisiana and Texas. “We’re looking forward to welcoming fans to the River Center Theatre on March 13.”

“Coming back to Baton Rouge for this debut feels special,” said Jay Bourgeois, bassist for Already Gone and an LSU alum. “I grew up in south Louisiana, and LSU was a huge chapter of my life. We’ve built this show around doing the music justice—fully live, in the original keys—so when people come out, it feels like a real night of music, not a playback.”

KENSINGTON, MD / MusicWire / March 9, 2026 — Internationally acclaimed Haitian singer-songwriter Natalie Jean unveils her latest album, Unbreakable Spirit — a powerful meditation rooted in resilience, womanhood, and social impact.

Unbreakable Spirit is grounded in the belief that remaining soft in a world that demands hardness is a radical act of resistance. Blending soul, Americana, and contemporary influences, the record draws from the emotional authenticity of women’s lived experiences. Across the album, Natalie explores the courage it takes to rise without abandoning tenderness.

Each track on Unbreakable Spirit moves deliberately through struggle, healing, empowerment, and transformation. The album’s opening track, “Born to Lead,” introduces the record with a bang. Built from a clear sonic vision and brought to life alongside producer Alexi Von Guggenberg, the song recently won the Women’s Freedom Song Contest 2026 in the Lyric/Poem category and is also a semifinalist in the International Songwriting Competition 2025.

“‘Born To Lead’ is about all women and the quiet ways we’re taught to doubt ourselves. It’s a reminder that leadership doesn’t come from permission, titles, or fitting into someone else’s mold. Women have always led—through resilience, empathy, and courage—even when the world refused to call it leadership. This song is my way of saying that our voices matter, our instincts matter, and we don’t have to shrink to belong. When one woman stands in her truth, it gives others permission to do the same,” shares Natalie Jean.

From confronting silencing forces to reclaiming voice, the album is both declaration and sanctuary, giving language to women who refuse to shrink in the face of the current political climate.

Unbreakable Spirit is social-impact music in its most organic form. Natalie writes to give listeners space to feel, reflect, and recognize themselves in the lines — and between them. Her refusal to dilute emotion or conform to expectation makes Unbreakable Spirit one of her most poignant releases to date.
