Irish Mythen In Concert

True power inspires awe, and Irish Mythen packs a lot of it lyrical, musical, and personal into a relatively small frame.

Mythen is a globetrotting troubadour an Irish-born, contemporary Canadian folk artist whos been amassing accolades and achievements across several continents over the years. Her presence and charisma simply command attention, and regardless of where she takes the stage, she delivers a sonic and emotional experience that transcends language and location; that reaches the very core of what connects us. Its an experience that, in recent years, has earned her spots performing alongside Rod Stewart, Gordon Lightfoot, and Lucinda Williams and billings on major festival stages the world over.

Following a pair of earlier EPs, Irish cemented her spot as a performing powerhouse with her first two full-length offerings 2008s Sweet Necessity and 2011s Open Here; however, its since moving to Prince Edward Island and releasing her latest collection a self-titled, statement-making third LP in 2014 that shes propelled herself to an impressive new plateau.

The ECMA 2015 Roots Album of the Year perfectly couples the two poles of her sonic sphere: a universally engaging and accessible brand on contemporary folk with a tinge of more traditional Celtic influence that stems from her proud heritage. The result is a sound thats truly timeless and transcending, anchored by her dominant and dynamic vocal prowess.

Irish draws her inspiration from all over. Its the people Ive met, the colour and shape of the land, the fact that you spend much of this life alone on the road she shares. All these things have crept into my songs.
