Inspired by Irish and American songwriting traditions of past and present, Anthony McCann writes beautiful and intelligent songs that lift the heart and stir the imagination.

"I've been writing songs for 20 years. The songwriters Colum Sands, Kieran Goss, Ben Sands, and Tommy Sands lived nearby when I was growing up in Warrenpoint, Co. Down, and their example allowed me to take songwriting seriously (and occasionally not too seriously). Early aspirations to become a full-time songwriter (in my early 20s) got postponed for an academic career. I recently started performing again, and I am looking forward to finishing my debut album. I hope you enjoy listening to these songs."
