The Henry Girls are an Irish folk and roots music group. The band consists of three sisters: Karen, Lorna and Joleen McLaughlin. All three have studied music at university level and are multi-instrumentalist, utilizing fiddles, ukulele, banjo, guitar, harp, mandolin, piano, and accordion. [1] The Henry Girls often sing in harmony [2] and their sound has been described as a mix of traditional Irish folk music and Americana. [3] They have contributed backup vocals to Mary Black's album Stories from the Steeples. [1] They have also collaborated with Session Americana, Dónal Lunny, Moya Brennan, Jennifer Kimball, and The Fox Hunt. [3]
The McLaughlin sisters are from Malin in Inishowen, County Donegal, Ireland. They formed the band over 10 years ago. [3] They named the band after their grandfather. [2] They released their debut album, Between Us, in 2003, and was produced by Máire Breatnach. [4] They released their album Dawn in 2010, and that year they were nominated for an Irish Film and Television Award for Best Original Score for the film A Shine of Rainbows, which featured songs from the album Dawn. [5]
In 2011 they released their album December Moon. The album features all original songs but four, including a cover of Elvis Costello's " Watching the Detectives." It was produced by Calum Malcolm. [1]
In early 2014, the trio released the album Louder than Words.
