The traditional vocal sounds of Ireland are fused with a modern urban sensibility by Dublin-born and New York-based vocalist Susan Mckeown (pronounced "mick-yone"). Accompanied by her band, The Chanting House, Mckeown's alto vocals have inspired comparisons to June Tabor, Chrissie Hynde, Sarah Mclachlan, Grace Slick, and Sandy Denny. Mckeown's musical approach was described by Time magazine as "the kind of music that will link Ireland's musical past with its future."
Since immigrating to the U.S. in 1990 with a scholarship to attend the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City, Mckeown has been attracting attention with her dynamic vocals and enthusiastic stage persona.
