Currently based in Toronto, Irish singer-songwriter Clare O' Mahony has recently finished her debut album Secret World. With influences ranging from Tracy Chapman to James Taylor, Clare has already received airplay on LA's Folkscene radio show as well as New York and Boston stations. The album features 10 original tracks, 2 of which were produced and recorded by Declan Sinnott (Christy Moore, Mary Black). Clare has already shared the stage with artists such as Ron Hynes, James Blunt and Colleen Power.
Clare's music has awarded her the opportunity to play live on one of largest radio stations in the US/Canada - Chicago's WGN in March 2006, as well as playing several dates in the Chicago area, including Woodstock Opera House, and the Metropolis Performing Arts Centre. From her beginnings in Cork, Ireland, Clare has since travelled to New York to play in the Living Room along with Niall Connolly, Rachel Loshak and more. After this Clare travelled to Newfoundland, Canada, where she was one of 7 Irish songwriters chosen to take part in the first annual Atlantic Crossroads Festival - a concept where Irish and Newfoundland songwriters come together to collaborate and perform, with the Newfoundland songwriters including Ron Hynes, Pamela Morgan, Darrell Power (Great Big Sea), Jim Fidler, Colleen Power and Hugh Scott. One of the highlights of this trip was singing the well known "Sonny's Dream" with the writer of the song to a packed house at St. John's Arts and Culture Centre. Clare recently took part in the Songsmiths tour (Killarney, Dingle and Cork shows) as part of Cork Folk Festival along with Ger Wolfe, Annette Buckley, Gavin Moore, Ron Kavanagh, John Leo Carter and Mick Flannery. Clare has also been asked to return for the September leg of the Songsmiths tour. Clare was also chosen to play in a special A&R (including Sony, Atlantic) showcase gig on April 30th set up in association with FMC and Cork 2005. |
