About this concert
Irish was born in Ireland and now resides in Charlottetown Prince Edward Island Canada. This Island creates music and musicians, art and artists. I found a shift to take things more seriously when I moved here. And she did just that.
Her latest release, the self titled Irish Mythen, gained her recognition round the globe with nominations and wins coming from Music PEI, East Coast Music Association, Folk Alliance International and Socan.
Write-ups in Australian Guitar Magazine, Rolling Stone and a plethora of online publications world wide have helped plant Irish firmly on the map of 'Must See Artists'.
Irish has three full-length albums and two EPs to her name.
"I had no idea what to expect when this five foot nothing lady took the stage, all smiles and twinkling eyes and guitar. Then, she opened her mouth and out flew a voice that came straight from the Heavens with all the power and the glory and the truth of someone destined to be a singer. I've been blessed with seeing and hearing a lot of talented musicians in my life, but I have never experienced anyone quite like Irish Mythen. She is a force of nature and a gift from Almighty Herself." (Lisa Schwartz, Philadelphia Folk Festival)
Support comes from local favourite Katy Rose Bennett with her "Sophisticated mix of folk, jazz, pop and rustica." (The Independent.)

They Said about Irish
Irish Mythen is one of the few performers I have seen who bowls me over each time I see her, she makes me cry with her poignant lyrics and passionate vocals and makes me laugh with her cheeky Irish banter, I love her work and cannot understand why the whole world doesn't agree with me. Now living in Prince Edward Island in Canada, Mythen has played worldwide and at last seems to be gaining the recognition she deserves.
