Combine a wee Irish lass with a honeyed crystalline voice, a dynamic multi-instrumentalist and good cheer. What do you get? A whopping great time! Come let Mary Murphy's Irish Isle transport you across the Atlantic to a home of traditional, original and contemporary Irish songs. Mary not only sings lyrics - she transcends them. Her penned originals are seeped in tradition, and one would be hard pressed to decipher the originals from the traditional ones.

Ms. Murphy, a versatile and fiery singer/songwriter born in Dublin, Ireland and residing in Canada has built her own musical bridge on which she unequivocally invites all visitors to step across. A typical show sees Mary not only sharing her gifts of melody and lyric, but leading her audiences in playful choruses in both English and Irish language, playing percussion instruments and even performing a little step dancing!
It may be this gift of melody and lyric that is so attractive, or her rich and seemingly effortless vocal style, or perhaps her enticingly warm Irish nature; but whatever combinations move this woman, they promote and sustain fans from every age group and from every walk of life.
