Mick Moloney combines the careers of folklorist, musicologist, arts presenter and advocate, professional musician, and professor of music and Irish studies. In 1999 he was awarded the National Heritage Award from the National Endowment for the Arts — the highest official honor a traditional artist can receive in the United States. Mick received the Presidential Distinguished Service Award from the President of Ireland in November of 2013. Reviewer Earle Hitchner called one of Mick's concerts a "moving musical feast" in this review in The Irish Echo. When not performing, producing, or lecturing, Mick leads a series of Irish Cultural Tours, offering an authentic Irish cultural odyssey that conventional tourists never experience.
