Many great Irish American performers like Andy McGann, Brian Conway, Joannie Madden, Jerry O'Sullivan, Liz Carroll and Billy McComiskey would rise to achieve a level of accomplishment in the traditional music usually associated with native Irish.
In the wake of the Depression and World War, Irish traditional music in New York was belittled by showband culture, and performers like Jack Coen, Paddy O'Brien of Tipperary, Larry Redican, and Paddy Reynolds kept the tradition alive in the United States, and were teachers of the music to Irish Americans. This recording culture continues to the present day. In the 1920s and 1930s, the classic recordings of Irish traditional music were made in New York by Michael Coleman, Packie Dolan, Hughie Gillespie, Jim Morrison and many others. In the late nineteenth century and long after that, Patsy Touhey from Loughrea was a popular touring artist. Chief O'Neill in Chicago was a major promoter of musicianship and tune collection, greatly impacting the tradition beyond his own day and place of re-settlement. Masters of the tradition have come to live in the United States. And then yet another is the widespread interest in the music by Americans from every background. Another is the learning and playing of Irish music by first and second generation Irish-Americans. The history of Irish musicians from Ireland taking up residency in New York and beyond is one side of the story. Emigrants from Ireland have brought their instruments and repertoire to the United States since the earliest days of European colonization of the New World. Irish traditional music in the United States has a long and varied history, both in recording culture and by live performances.

The most significant impact of Celtic music on American styles, however, is undoubtedly that on the evolution of country music, a style which blends Anglo-Celtic traditions with "sacred hymns and African American spirituals". These included many Scots-Irish Presbyterians, whose music was most "closely related to a Lowland Scottish style". Beginning in the 1960s, performers like the Clancy Brothers became stars in the Irish music scene, which dates back to at least the colonial era, when many Irish immigrants arrived.
