MAIRÉAD is an artist of integrity, vision and passion to the individual voice that has manifested throughout her work over the past 4 decades.  Her music has journeyed through the road less traveled since departing her hometown of Dublin some 25 plus years ago.  Singing since the age of three and classically trained soon after, her early days were focused on classical, jazz and folk.  Following her arrival in the US and based in New York City, Mairéad enjoyed notable success, both in the studio and in the touring arena. Mairéad fronted Too Cynical To Cry, a bohemian pop collaboration, touring alongside such luminaries as Van Morrison, Natalie Merchant, Elvis Costello, and Tracy Chapman as well as on Sarah Mclachlan's Lilith Fair Tour.  

After a period of artistic transition, Mairéad released her 2003 breakout solo debut recording Open The Door. The body of work exuded a significant leap in her song craft and artistic depth, garnering rave reviews and motivating one New York critic to conclude "I find myself getting drunk on her sparkling spirit. Open The Door is a sweet concoction of folk dusted with Celtic mysticism, and abstract romance in the spirit of Van Morrison."  In 2005 Mairéad moved to Los Angeles and released Dawn Of Revelation recorded with Jim Goodwin (The Call, Sparks, John Cale) Eggchair Studios in Hollywood. The collection included contributions from drummer Robert Medici (David Bowie, Lou Reed, John Cale), and bassist Hal Cragin (Iggy Pop, Rufus Wainright, They Might Be Giants, Sarah McLachlan). Rounding out this stellar collective was Mairéad's friend and collaborator, Jimi Zhivago (Norah Jones, Joseph Arthur, Glen Hansard, Olabelle).  During this time Mairéad performed twice at Glastonbury.

Following a 10 year sabbatical from performing and touring, while she focused on motherhood, Mairéad delivered Rain: How Beautiful The Sound, a work of remarkable beauty, layered with joy, pain, loss and redemption.  And then in 2017 released her 4th Solo Album Burn For Love - rejoined by Zhivago, Goodwin and Cragin together with legendary drummer Matt Johnson of Jeff Buckley fame, where she returned to home soil to for a very special performance at Electric Picnic festival.

Mairéad's live performances have been captivating her loyal audience for some time now. Her shows have been separately described as 'spirited', 'naked', 'powerful' and ‘joyous'.   And as she approaches the release of her multi-album creation Love IS Everything she brings to it a maturity and depth that only exists through traveling on life’s teaching paths.  Music and performance of big songs that can break your heart wide open.
