| Self-taught on piano beginning at the age of
seven and then classically trained, Áedan MacDonnell crossed over
to Celtic music as a young adult, choosing the harp for her main
instrument. She now specializes in the beautiful music of Ireland,
Scotland and Wales. She studied harp with various well-known
harpers from Ireland, Wales and the U.S. She has performed in
Southern California and the San Francisco Bay Area for radio shows,
music festivals (including opening for the Battlefield Band), benefits,
art shows, restaurants, hotels, private parties, weddings, funerals and
religious celebrations. Áedan has also appeared as a guest harper
on several CD's. This new CD of her own is primarily Celtic harp with Áedan’s clear, soft vocals. Bass, guitar, piano, concertina and
recorder appear on select songs providing an additional depth to her
first recording. Tranquil and charming, the album is perfect for a
romantic evening, or to calm you during rush hour traffic. All songs are
traditional Celtic with four original compositions by Áedan. |
