\u201cMcEvoy has the skills of a first rate songwriter. She gives her songs full\u00a0fledged melodies, not just a repeated phrase or two\u201d<\/p>\n

Eleanor McEvoy achieved star status in Ireland in 1992 when her song “A Woman’s Heart” inspired the title for, and appeared on, the A Woman’s Heart <\/i>anthology album. A Woman\u2019s Heart<\/i> has since gone on to become the best-selling album in Irish history. Its 20th<\/sup><\/span> anniversary in 2012 saw twelve sold-out \u201cWoman\u2019s Heart\u201d shows at the Olympia Theatre.<\/p>\nHer career as of one of Ireland’s most popular songwriters started at age four when she performed in an Irish music competition as part of her sister’s band. She later took up the violin, and began playing the guitar in her teens. She graduated from Trinity College Dublin with an honors degree in music and was accepted to the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland as a violinist.\u00a0 She worked\u00a0with the symphony orchestra and also as a session musician playing for many acts including U2 and Sinead O\u2019Connor before she finally left that world behind to concentrate on her real passion\u2014songwriting.<\/p>\n
She released her eponymous debut on Geffen records followed with tours in the USA, Europe and East Asia. She moved to Columbia Records in New York for her second album \u201cWhat\u2019s Following Me?\u201d. \u201cPrecious Little\u201d, the first single, was a top ten radio hit in the US.<\/p>\n
Since then, Eleanor has gone on to become an artist and performer known throughout the world. Her critically acclaimed canon of work spans eleven albums, forty singles, and appearances on numerous compilation albums. She is today recognized as Ireland’s most successful female singer-songwriter, having enjoyed personal chart success and numerous cover versions of her songs by performers Emmylou Harris, Mary Black, Phil Coulter, Mary Coughlan, Bella Hardy, Eliza Carthy and Jack L, among others. Her song “All I Have” was featured in the HBO cult series “Six Feet Under.”<\/p>\n
Her latest album \u201cSTUFF\u201d described as \u201ca standout\u201d by the Irish Times also received rave reviews around the world. John Shand of The Sydney Morning Herald exclaims, \u201cSass and vulnerability are a rare combination that Eleanor McEvoy is capable of absolutely nailing\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
