Brigid Mae Power – Brigid Mae Power

Irish singer/songwriter Brigid Mae Power has shared stages with Lee Ranaldo, Alasdair Roberts, Richard Dawson, and Ryley Walker. In addition to the guitar, she plays accordion, baritone ukulele, piano and harmonium; creating hauntingly dreamlike soundscapes. “Brigid Mae Power is a songwriter from Galway, Ireland, a city famous for its bay, enclosed on three sides by green and white cliffs. For her forthcoming self-titled album on Tompkins Square, she recorded with Peter Broderick in Oregon. It fits: her voice demands the space of such a vast, open coastline. On “It's Clearing Now,” Power echoes the wayward yet grounded reach of Mary Margaret O'Hara or Angel Olsen circa Half Way Home—warbling, gauche, meditative, utterly in control over its eight doomy, languid minutes.” PITCHFORK
