With Siobhán O'Brien
Hailing from Limerick, Ireland, she’s recently settled in the U.S. She’s no stranger to the states, though, having toured there, as well as in Europe. She’s released six albums, including the most recent self-titled CD. When Paddy Moloney of The Chieftains says hers is “A voice the world should hear,” pay attention. With a hint of Alanis Morissette, her strong voice with a lush vibrato can soar over a pop arrangement in one number and in the next, soften enough to sing a traditional folk number like Sandy Denny.
