“McEvoy’s facility with everything from Tex-Mex country to straight up three-chord trickery is a timely reminder of what sets a musician apart: A hunger for exploration and a deep-seated talent for exploring the darker corners of both music and life”
– The Irish Times

Curated by Susan McKeown, SongLives brings the rich tradition of busking on Dublin’s Grafton Street to the wonderful intimacy and acoustics of the Donaghy Theatre. This unique concert series features both established artists, as well as up-and-comers, as they share their songs and stories with IAC audiences.

A multi-talented musician, songwriter and singer, Eleanor McEvoy is one of Ireland’s most accomplished artists and delivers an intimate, emotional and uplifting concert filled with passion and humor. She composed the song "Only A Woman's Heart,” title track of the hit album A Woman's Heart, which remains one of the best-selling albums in Irish history. She has now released nine hit albums and enjoys continual and growing success in Ireland, the UK and across the world. An intimate and powerful live performer she has appeared all over the world on numerous TV shows, films, festivals, and concerts.

Past performers include Susan McKeown, Declan O’Rourke, Michael Brunnock, Brendan O’Shea, Mark Geary, Ann Scott, Niall Connolly, Wallis Bird, Anthony Mulcahy, Mundy, The Guggenheim Grotto, Jenna Nichols, Heathers, and Gerry Leonard.
