Áine Tyrrell
Breaking stereotypes and igniting power, Áine Tyrrell is a force.
In a time when Irish identity is too often misused to derail Indigenous justice, Áine’s voice is a fire starter: lighting up our memory, our responsibility, and our place in the global fight for Land Back and justice. A woman with something to say, Áine’s live shows are compelling and unforgettable. Her solid stage presence blends spoken word, hip hop, acoustic guitar and ancient melody with an unmistakable voice and energy that is both electric and intimate.
A thought-provoking multi-instrumentalist songwriter, Áine defies labels and blends genres. Her music cradles the spirit of her native homeland, embodying a solid, elated rhythm that a thousand years of ancestry has slammed to the floorboard in celebration and protest. Her music fuses traditional Irish roots into a fierce and wild sonic, leaving you charged in potent fragile humanity.
In recognition of the valour and artistry of Irish women, 2021 saw the significance of Áine’s impact soar. Joining the Irish President, Michael D Higgins, and his wife Sabina in the national tribute celebration. Hailed as “a force” by The Irish Times, Áine has ignited airwaves from ABC to BBC, and become a festival favourite across continents. From so-called Australia to Ireland, the UK to the US, Áine has forged a revolutionary path.
