My Darling Asleep was formed in 2003 to perform traditional Irish songs and dance tunes. The band was initially an outgrowth of the Irish Music Ensemble, a student group at the University Of Louisville School Of Music.

Louisville Music News calls MDA "the hottest new Celtic band in town" and the Louisville Courier-Journal adds the band is one of the "5 Best" (and only band to receive that mention) things at St Patrick''s Day in Louisville.
