"What an exciting surprise to hear Síomha’s new record ‘Infinite Space’. Complex yet accessible, challenging yet warm and inviting. Vibrant vocals, soulful songs, heartfelt lyrics, mighty players. Music as sophisticated as this is a rarity these days.”— PAUL BRADYDé Sathairn, 11 Iúil, 8:30i.n., Áras ÉannaTicéid €30/25Grianghraf le Zé BateiraIs amhránaí agus giotáraí neamhspleách Éireannach í Síomha (She-vah) a bhogann go réidh idir ceol tíre, snagcheol agus neo-soul, tugann sí an lucht éisteachta ar aistear dodhearmadta gan choinne lena foinn anamúla. Is bailiúchán d’amhráin Ghaeilge agus Béarla atá ina céad albam ‘Infinite Space’, agus déanann an Irish Times cur síos air mar “a seriously accomplished and self-confident debut”. Saghas ceoil cosmach pop é bunaithe ar cheol tíre, le blas snagcheoil – is é Tyler Duncan, a bhfuil ainmniúchán Grammy aige, a chur le chéile é agus tá ceoltóirí mór le rá air lena n-áirítear Joe Dart (Vulfpeck), Louis Cato (Bobby McFerrin/ Snarky Puppy), Martin Atkinson Borrull (Toucan) agus an veidhleadóir Jeremy Kittel (Bela Fleck/ Chris Thile). Tá guth Shíomha lán le taithí amh ón gcroí. Ag éisteacht léi bíonn mothúcháin an-domhain ag an lucht éisteachta ar an bpointe agus fágann siad le ceangal níos dlúithe lena saol féin.Ag teacht ó chlann fíorcheolmhar d’fhás sí suas le lucht ceoil mór le rá inar bhfuair sí taithí ar mheascán den snagcheol, ceol traidisiúnta, ceol tíre agus sól, rud a d’fhág rian doscriosta ar a rogha agus tionchar ceoil. Thosaigh sí ag seinm an ghiotáir ag aois a deich mbliana ach ba ina dhiaidh sin, sna déaga di, agus í ag freastal ar scoil i ndeisceart na Fraince a thóg sí suasan giotár snagcheoil tar éis di bualadh trí sheans le giofóg Iodálach a mhúin stíl snagcheoil manouche na ngiofóg di. Bhí sí an-tógtha go deo le cordaí agus fuaimeanna an tsnagcheoil, fuair sí spreagadh as agus thosaigh sí ag cumadh a cuid amhrán féin.Sna cúpla bliain ina dhiaidh sin chuaigh sí ag taisteal agus a cuid ceoil ag treorú an bhealaigh, ag tógáil isteach fuaimeanna na n-áiteanna ar thug sí cuairt orthu agus ag cur lena ceird. Ag deireadh 2016, tar éis di Meiriceá, Ceanada agus Meicsiceo a bheith treafa aici mhothaigh sí tarraingt nádúrtha filleadh ar an mbaile agus bhí cúpla bliain iontach aici ina dhiaidh sin. Bhí sí ina haoi rialta ag an amhránaí mór le rá Paul Brady agus chan sí ag féilte ar nós Electric Picnic, Celtic Connections, Cambridge Folk Festival agus Fête de la Musique ag Centre Culturel Irlandais i bPáras. Sa bhliain 2018 fuair sí cuireadh dul ar chamchuairt leis an ngrúpa Meiriceánach-Éireannach cáiliúil agus comhaimseartha The Olllam agus thit sí isteach láithreach lena mball bunaidh Tyler Duncan. In 2019 thosaigh Síomha agus Martin Atkinson Borrull, a comhoibrí cruthaitheach fadtéarmach, ag taifeadadh a céad albam i Michigan, SÁM le Tyler mar léiritheoir. Roghnaíodh Síomha mar Ealaíontóir Taispeántais Oifigiúil ag Folk Alliance International 2023 i gcathair Kansas, MI agus bronnadh cónaitheacht taibhithe an Music Network ag an Centre Culturel Irlandais, Páras uirthi le deireanas áit a gcaithfidh sí mí ag obair ar ábhar nua. Tugadh cuireadh di le deireanas chun roinnt dá cuid amhrán a thaifeadadh le Ceolfhoireann RTÉ agus ba é Cormac McCarthy a shocraigh é seo. Eiseofar na traiceanna seo ar EP nua dar teideal ‘Infinite Space Reimagined’, ag teacht i ndiaidh a céad albam uaillmhianach. Beidh traic le ‘Metropole Orkes’t ar an EP freisin, ceolfhoireann pop agus snagcheoil mór le rá an domhain, a bhfuil obair déanta acu i gcomhar le Ella Fitzgerald, Bono, Snarky Puppy agus Robbie Williams.Is ealaíontóir croíúil í Síomha agus tá ceol difríocht aici de na gnáthchineálacha ceoil. Tá tionchar a cúlra ceoil, a cuid taistil agus a cíoradh ar an gceol inchloiste sa gceol a chruthaíonn sí. Canann sí amhráin i nGaeilge agus i mBéarla, í i gcónaí bródúil as a hoidhreacht Éireannach. Is údar mór inspioráide don ealaíontóir bródúil seo as Co. an Chláir tírdhreach álainn agus nádúr garbh a háite dúchais in Iarthar na hÉireann, rud a spreagann í chun stíl ceoil uathúil agus anamúil a chruthú a chuireann gach duine a chloiseann é faoi gheasa. Saturday, 11 July, 20:30, Áras ÉannaTickets €30/25Photograph by Zé BateiraIndependent Irish singer and guitarist Síomha (pronounced She-vah) dances the line between folk, jazz and neo-soul effortlessly taking audiences on an unexpected and unforgettable journey with her soulful melodies. Her debut album ‘Infinite Space’, described by The Irish Times as “a seriously accomplished and self-confident debut”, is a collection of songs in both Irish and English. A kind of cosmic, folk-informed, jazz-tinged, post-pop - it was produced by Grammy-nominated Tyler Duncan and features an all-star lineup of musicians including Joe Dart (Vulfpeck), Louis Cato (Bobby McFerrin/ Snarky Puppy), Martin Atkinson Borrull (Toucan) and violinist Jeremy Kittel (Bela Fleck/ Chris Thile). Síomha’s voice is full of raw heartfelt experience. When listening to her, audiences are instantly moved to feel on the deepest level and come out more intimately connected to their own worlds.Coming from a family steeped in music, Síomha grew up on a diet of musical greats with the sounds of jazz, trad, folk and soul creeping in and leaving an indelible mark on her musical tastes and influences. She started playing the guitar at age 10 but it was later in her teens while attending high school in the south of France that she first took up jazz guitar after a chance encounter led to her learning from an Italian gypsy who taught her the manouche gypsy jazz style. The chords and sounds of jazz fascinated and inspired Síomha and she began to craft her own songs.The next few years saw her travelling, with music as her compass, soaking up the sounds of each place she travelled and further honing her craft. In late 2016, having traversed America, Canada and Mexico, she felt an innate draw to return to her home shores and a phenomenal few years have followed. Síomha has been a regular guest of folk legend Paul Brady and has performed at festivals such as Electric Picnic, CelticConnections, Cambridge Folk Festival and Fête de la Musique at Centre Culturel Irlandais in Paris. In 2018, she was invited to tour with the celebrated contemporary American-Irish group the olllam and instantly formed a bond with founding member Tyler Duncan. In 2019, Síomha and her long-term creative collaborator Martin Atkinson Borrull began recording her debut album in Michigan, USA with Tyler as producer. Síomha was selected as an Official Showcase Artist at Folk Alliance International 2023 in Kansas City, MI and she was recently awarded The Music Network performance residency at Centre Culturel Irlandais, Paris where she will spend a month working on new material. Síomha was recently invited to record some of her songs with The RTÉ Concert Orchestra, arranged by Cormac McCarthy. These tracks will be released on a new EP titled ‘Infinite Space Reimagined’, a follow up to her ambitious debut album. The EP will also feature a track with Metropole Orkest, the world’s leading pop and jazz orchestra who have collaborated with Ella Fitzgerald, Bono, Snarky Puppy and Robbie Williams.Síomha is an artist full of heart and her music defies conventional genres. The influences of her musical background, her travels and her musical explorations are audible in the music she creates. Always proud of her Irish heritage, she performs her songs in English and Irish. The beautiful landscape and rugged nature of her native West of Ireland are a huge source of inspiration for this proud Co. Clare artist leading her to create a soulful and unique style of music that enthrals anyone who hears it.
