Noriana Kennedy represents a new generation of Irish folk singers with a unique songbook that crosses oceans from Waterford to America, Scotland and a thousand heart worn places in between. Likened to many as a young Mary Black, she has a rare gift of being able to connect with any listener through understatement and simplicity. Noriana was born in Dublin to a filipina mother and an Irish father but has lived in the musical melting pot of Galway, in the west of Ireland, for the last eight years. Her debut album ‘Ebb n Flow’ marks the first assured steps into what promises to be a long journey along folks storied path. “Ebb n Flow is really a terrific CD reflective of the new reality that is young Irish roots music today” Brian Donovan, Celtic Sojourn Radio, WGHB, Boston.
