Lorraine Nash

“The Future of Irish Folk”. John Meaghar, Irish Independent

Born in County Kerry, Lorraine Nash is a multi-instrumentalist who seamlessly blends her traditional Irish roots with Folk, Country, and Americana. Her songwriting has earned high praise, with critics comparing her "from-the-heart" compositions to the likes of Neil Young, Gillian Welch, and Laura Marling.

Following the success of her debut album, All That I Can Be, 2025 has been a landmark year for Lorraine. After opening for the legendary Hothouse Flowers on their UK summer tour and performing at Glastonbury, she is now recording her second album, co-produced by Grammy-winner Ron Block (Alison Krauss & Union Station).

Building on international momentum from tours in Australia and the UK, Lorraine is set to take the stage at  AMERICANAFEST 2026 in Nashville, sharing a prestigious bill with Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers

Stephen O'Dowd is a Sligo-based multi-instrumentalist and fourth-generation musician who blends Irish traditional heritage with contemporary folk storytelling. A rising star on the scene, he has gained acclaim for his immersive live performances and sold-out tours across Ireland and the UK.

Her music is a raw and soulful mix of personal reflection and sharp storytelling. In collaboration with renowned producer Declan Legge, her songs have become staples on Irish and UK radio.
