MOTHERLAND SONGS
Accompanied by Ewan Cowley
The debut album of women’s folk-pop anthems.
Dublin-born singer Edel Murphy showcases folk anthems & protest songs from her acclaimed album MOTHERLAND SONGS. In an intimate & acoustic performance, Edel brings a heartfelt intensity and serenity to memorable female characters in songs by Dolly Parton, Kate Bush, The Beatles, and Judy Collins.
Alongside spoken word & poetry from female Irish writers (Edna O’Brien, Sara Berkeley and more) Edel performs new and well-loved Irish & North American modern classics by great female artists such as Joan Baez, Natalie Merchant, Mary Black and Carsie Blanton, evoking the universal experiences of working life, independence, love, inequality, and the search for social justice.
“...a modern day talented vocalist, gazing warmly back at generations of creative, pioneering women that have gone before.”- Mark Lysaght, Irish Music Magazine
“An amazing show… Edel Murphy was stunning, the sharpness of her delivery was outstanding.” - Dick O’Riordan, Sunday Business Post
“Murphy’s voice is velvety, enchanting, ethereal. The album is socially, culturally, historically appropriate – a celebration of woman and motherhood.” – AnneMarie Kennedy, Irish Music Magazine.’
It is a rare performer that can bring a tear to your eye and a smile to your lips with the sweetness of her singing. Edel Murphy is such a performer.” – Editor, Liffey Champion
