Kyle Carey

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 and newest 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.

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'.
