An Irish singer known for her poetic lyrics and work with Damien Rice, Ray LaMontagne, and Glen Hansard.
For her own material, 'Fall' or 'Snow' from 'Sea Sew' still frame her sound perfectly. If you want to hear where she came from, 'The Blower's Daughter' with Damien Rice is the obvious place.
Her voice on 'The Blower's Daughter' with Damien Rice introduced a whole audience to that hushed, intimate folk sound in the early 2000s. She's kept that same delicate touch across her own songs, like 'Fall' and 'Snow' from her 2008 debut 'Sea Sew'. Even her later work on something like 'Let Us Adore You' with Christine Ebersole and Patti LuPone shows she can fit into bigger, weirder projects without losing her specific texture.
She started out singing with Damien Rice's band P:ano on their 2001 album 'Day is Done'. After that group ended in 2006, she put out her own records like 'Sea Sew' and 'At Swim', sticking close to folk and acoustic writing. There was a legal thing with a former manager in 2013, but mostly it's been a steady path of solo work and collaborations.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
