“Casey's voice is among the loveliest in folk music and she's a wonderful interpreter of both contemporary and traditional material.” –Boston GlobeIrish singer-songwriter Karan Casey has been blazing a trail for over 30 years. A lover of ballads, love songs and searing versions of social justice songs, fond of a good yarn, she has toured the world making deep connections with her audience connecting via Ireland’s past but crucially repositioning women and songs in a universal and a modern setting.
Karan has been striking out lately to explore new areas of performance on the piano and with spoken word and theatre. She has released eleven albums as well as contributing to numerous other artists’ projects – appearing on more than 80 albums so far - and has toured extensively throughout North America, Europe and Japan, performing with her own band as well as collaborating with such diverse musicians as Maura O’Connell, James Taylor, Bela Fleck, Boston Pops Orchestra, The Chieftains, The Dubliners, Peggy Seeger, Tim O’Brien, and Solas.
Karan’s first theatre show, I Walked into My Head, was premiered at the Kilkenny Arts Festival 2021. 2022 saw Karan collaborate with composer Harry Escott on a version of the Irish ballad "Grace" for the film “Ali & Ava”. Karan’s newest album “Nine Apples of Gold” received extensive radio play on both sides of the Atlantic reaching No 1 on the US Folk radio charts for the month of March. Karan’s new stage show about women in the Irish revolutionary period, The Women We Will Rise, was premiered at the Everyman Theatre in Cork in September 2023.
