Eleanor McEvoy

One of the great contemporary singer/songwriters, Eleanor McEvoy's work has spanned many decades of diverse work and collaborations from her sensational "Only a Woman's Heart" to her most recent release, The Thought of You. Her repertoire and style range from folk ballads and love songs to hard hitting social commentary.

This will be definitely one of the most contemporary nights of the Backroom Series to date. With McEvoy's renewed and energized commitment to writing, recording and touring, it will also be one of its most compelling.

Take a listen below to that range. Start with "A Woman's Heart" and then her latest, The Thought of You below it. Very different, equally compelling.

The Burren Backroom series is now well established as one of the most sought-after boutique series of trad presentation in the world. It has already created already dozens of memorable, intimate, informal presentations held in a truly atmospheric space which was founded by well-known traditional musicians Tommy McCarthy and Louise Costello in Davis Square, Somerville, Massachusetts.

Hosted by Brian O'Donovan of A Celtic Sojourn on WGBH radio, these gatherings feature core performers from many aspects of traditional music as well as special guests, and conversations around the music. As is the custom of the Burren, it is anticipated informal and dynamic post concert sessions will be a feature.

Ticket prices vary and there is a $5 discount for WGBH Members. If you are a member, send an e-mail to celtic@wgbh.org and we will send you the code.
