One of the islands of the Irish folk revival. Lisa Hannigan is an Irish singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who captivates with her delicate voice and surprising sonic flights of fancy.  Her music is reminiscent of introspective folk artists like Nick Drake, but doesn’t hesitate to dive straight into the eccentric impulses that plague the works of musicians like Kate Bush.

In her early days, Lisa Hannigan collaborated with Damien Rice and sang duets with him on numerous tracks such as 9 Crimes and Volcano. Her professional relationship with him was anything but symbolic. She played with him as a drummer, keyboardist and guitarist and was able to stand out with her talent by playing eclectic setlists of traditional songs and covers.

Lisa Hannigan has lent her vocal skills to Glen Hansard’s Dublin rock band, The Frames, as well as to jazz legend Herbie Hancok. In 2006, she joined The Cake Sale, a predominantly Irish folk collective led by Brian Crosby, whose self-titled album was a huge international success.

Since 2007, Lisa Hannigan has dedicated herself to her own career and since then she has released 4 albums, the last one in Live, which combine pop melodies and folk instrumentation and highlight a warm and slightly veiled voice with melancholic accents.
