Channelling the music of her ancestors, 6th generation fiddler and bilingual singer Clare Sands is a unique force in Irish music. Creating boundary breaking fearless folk music inspired by her travels around Ireland and the world, Sands sings for the young and the old, brave and the bold.
‘Clare Sands’ is the title of her highly anticipated new album which explores, among other themes, tradition, the sea and the power of women. The return of live performance and festivals will bring Clare to Celtic Connections, Folk Alliance International, the Irish Arts Center NYC, Glastonbury Festival and more. An Chultúrlann is delighted to have been added to that list. |
