Recognized for her ethereal voice and substantive songwriting, Aoife O’Donovan is also known for her many collaborations. Called “a vocalist of unerring instinct” by the New York Times, O’Donovan is one of the most sought after vocalists and songwriters of her generation and her career has allowed her to collaborate with some of the most eminent names in music across a wide variety of genres. The most recent example is I’m With Her, the band comprised of Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz and O’Donovan. The trio played a sold out show at ALICE in 2018, and played at Roskilde Festival the year after. O’Donovan has also released two highly acclaimed studio albums as well as several EP’s in her own name.
With her mix of bluegrass inspiration, dreamy songwriting and moody americana, she is regarded as one of the finest songwriters and singers of her generation. And we’re thrilled to present her at Sankt Johannes Kirke with a stripped down solo set that will put full focus on these qualities – a great voice and great songs. Canadian singer songwriter Donovan Woods will play a support set and join O’Donovan on stage.
