Celtic Connections proudly presents Irish Mythen with Paul McKenna
Irish Mythen (They/Them) is a powerhouse performer and internationally acclaimed artist originally from Ireland and based in Prince Edward Island, Canada, since 2007. Renowned for their raw vocal power, captivating stage presence, and profound ability to connect with audiences, Irish has earned a place among the must-see artists of their generation. Irish’s groundbreaking album Little Bones propelled them to global recognition, earning a 2020 JUNO Award nomination for Contemporary Roots Album of the Year, seven Music PEI 2020 nominations (including two wins), and the 2020 Canadian Folk Music Award for Solo Artist of the Year.
Their previous self-titled album also received widespread accolades, including recognition from Music PEI, the East Coast Music Association, Folk Alliance International, and SOCAN. Their music and artistry have been featured in Rolling Stone, Australian Guitar Magazine, and numerous other influential media outlets, cementing their reputation worldwide.
Scotland’s Paul McKenna has long been ranked among our finest younger singers and songwriters, armed with a powerful yet intensely emotive voice and passionate social conscience, often expressed through his songs, a combination that’s brought frequent comparisons to the great Dick Gaughan.
Paul was a featured artist at the world-renowned Transatlantic Sessions in 2019. Alongside Cara Dillon, Tim O’Brien, Molly Tuttle, and the multi-talented house band, he performed a string of shows across the UK.
