Organizers for The Celtic Woman [ tickets ] tour--an ensemble performance trek featuring the talents of five female Irish vocalists--have added a month of dates to a tour that's been running since February.

The group--featuring vocalists Chloe Agnew, Lisa Kelly, Meav Ni Mhaolchatha, Orla Fallon, Mairead Nesbitt and recent addition Hayley Westenra--kicked off its tour Feb. 14 in Tampa, and will next take the stage Wednesday night (4/25) in Little Rock, AR.

The newly added dates bring the total run to nearly 70 shows. Full details on the tour's remaining stops are included below.

The Celtic Woman Tour is the brainchild of Sharon Browne and Dave Kavanagh of Celtic Collections, Ltd., an Ireland-based independent record label. The pair, along with musical director David Downes, conceived the tour "to showcase the talent of great Irish female singers and performers," according to the Celtic Woman website.

The ensemble released a new studio album in January. "A New Journey," which mixes contemporary hits ("Beyond the Sea," "The Prayer," "Scarborough Fair," "Over the Rainbow"), classical favorites ("Lascia Ch’io Pianga," "Vivaldi's Rain") and Irish standards ("Dulaman," "At the Ceili," "Caledonia," "Mo Ghile Mear"). The set debuted at No. 4 on The Billboard 200 chart.
