About this event
Kyle Carey’s unique fusion of ‘Gaelic Americana’ music includes influences of the American Folk Anthology, the traditional music of Cape Breton, Ireland and Scotland, and the Appalachian poetry of Louise McNeill. Produced by former Lùnasa guitarist Donogh Hennessy, Kyle's debut album 'Monongah' features some of the finest guest artists in Irish folk. It rose to number eight in the summer of 2011 on the International Folk DJ charts, landing on a number of ‘Best of’ lists by year’s end.
Her sophomore release, 'North Star', produced by Solas founding member Seamus Egan, features another all-star cast, and was released in the fall of 2014 to wide-spread critical acclaim. Kyle’s third album, 'The Art of Forgetting', was produced by Dirk Powell, recorded in Louisiana, and features luminaries such as Rhiannon Giddens, John McCusker and Mike McGoldrick. The album achieved critical praise on both sides of The Atlantic, and was named one of PopMatters top ten folk albums of 2018.

Her newest and fourth album 'The Last Bough', fan-funded to the tune of $40,000, was recorded in Nashville and produced by the musical shape shifter Kai Welch. 'The Last Bough' features artists such as Anthony DaCosta, Ruth Moody and Christian Sedelmyer. Kyle's fluency in Scottish Gaelic, and her own American heritage and study of Appalachian roots music makes for her own unique synthesis of which she calls 'Gaelic Americana'.
