“Maria Doyle Kennedy is one of the finest voices [Ireland] has ever produced.” - Hot Press Magazine

Maria Doyle Kennedy has gained international acclaim for her featured roles in films and television series like Dexter, Downton Abbey, and The Tudors. As a singer, however, this raven-haired Dubliner remains one of Ireland’s best kept secrets. Sometimes melancholy, other times joyful, and always passionate – Maria has recorded five albums and has collaborated with such legendary artists as Snow Patrol, Damien Rice, Paul Brady and John Prine.

Past performers include Mick Flannery, Casey Black, John Spillane, Eamon O’Tuama, Eleanor McEvoy, Warren Malone, Mark Geary, Niall Connolly, Wallis Bird, Michael Brunnock, Ann Scott, Heathers, Gerry Leonard, The Guggenheim Grotto, Jenna Nichols, Mundy, Brendan O’Shea, and Declan O’Rourke.
