How it’s Irish: description

Irish singer and flute player Nuala Kennedy will be joined by percussionist Donald Hay, guitarist Mike Bryan and fiddler Shona Mooney for an evocative, soul-satisfying evening that showcases her hauntingly beautiful vocals, adventurous instrumentation, and imaginative mix of influences.

Rooted in the Celtic music of her native Ireland and adopted homeland of Scotland, Nuala is praised for her eclectic cross-genre work that shines with the raw energy, purpose and confidence of an artist who has come of age. She has performed and recorded with artists such as Will Oldham, Norman Blake, Euros Childs and the late Canadian composer Oliver Schroer and has recently been touring internationally with her trio promoting Noble Stranger, her third release on Nashville’s Compass label.
