Read Irish Music Magazine's Review of Shirae.


        This mother and daughter team called Shirae has a great harmony as they spin through the songs on their first CD.  There are a number of songs on this CD but in particular I liked " River " and "September" and how the songs are arranged.  As you listen time and time again you will find a melody link from beginning to the end.  Below are a few samples to introduce you to this new Irish Dio.  I'm sure you will enjoy them in a live performance but until then be sure to order their CD.

        Hello, Just wanted to let you know that I caught your CD release party by chance... I'm so very glad I did.  I enjoyed the show so much that I bought the CD.  I am very impressed by the musicianship and the tight harmony lines.  "Dancer in the Dance" and "River" are my personal favorites, plus the "Will Ye Go Lassie Go" reference in "September" was brilliant. Best of Luck with your music! I hope to see you again in the area!

        Check out "Granny" about a granny going off to town and tipping a few.  My family loves the whole album.

        "Granny" stands out as one of my favorite cuts. It is well written and lots of fun to listen to.  I especially liked the way it created a visual picture of an old woman putting them back at the pub!!  What a great way to start the CD.  (I'm thinking about adding this to WorldZoneXM100).  I also liked the "Silent People".  It actually inspired me to research the history of one of my favorite childhood games. (I always thought Ring around the Rosie was such a happy game, go figure!!)  I liked the "Sorry Flowers" concept, the song itself was too hard for my tastes, at times it really jolted me out of this wonderful relaxed space created by the previous tracks.

        Shirae... sing contemporary and traditional songs rich with the images of Ireland's people, history and culture. Growing up in Munster, O'Flynn heard and learned the Sean Nos tradition which so richly informs her songwriting today. A typical Shirae performance will include not only songs from the Sean Nos and recent Irish tradition but original songs from O'Flynn and some of America's most well known songwriters.  A show not to be missed for all who love Irish music!
