Irish singer/songwriter Brigid Mae Power has shared stages with Lee Ranaldo, Alasdair Roberts, Richard Dawson, and Ryley Walker.

In addition to the guitar, she plays accordion, baritone ukulele, piano and harmonium; creating hauntingly dreamlike soundscapes.

"Brigid Mae Power is a songwriter from Galway, Ireland, a city famous for its bay, enclosed on three sides by green and white cliffs.

For her forthcoming self-titled album on Tompkins Square, she recorded with Peter Broderick in Oregon.

It fits: her voice demands the space of such a vast, open coastline. On "It's Clearing Now," Power echoes the wayward yet grounded reach of Mary Margaret O'Hara or Angel Olsen circa Half Way Home-warbling, gauche, meditative, utterly in control over its eight doomy, languid minutes." PITCHFORK
