A singer who moves between traditional ballads and new writing without chasing trends.
For a good sense of her range, listen to 'The Creggan White Hare' alongside 'Distant Shore'. One feels like it's been sung for centuries, the other like something written yesterday.
Casey's voice has that rare quality where it feels both ancient and immediate. Songs like 'Just A Note' and 'Ae Fond Kiss' show how she handles traditional material with a light touch, while 'When Will We All Be Free' points toward her own writing. Her music just sits in that space between old and new, quiet but persistent.
She grew up in Dublin with traditional Irish music, jazz, and folk around her. After singing with Moving Hearts in the early 1990s, she went solo by the end of the decade, releasing her first album 'Songlines' in 1999. She kept recording through the 2000s and 2010s, putting out albums like 'The Winds Begin to Sing' and 'Ships in the Forest' while occasionally speaking out on political matters.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
