100 Dances, 1000 Stars

Over the course of four stunning and original albums Ann Scott has been steadily establishing herself as one of the most courageous songwriters on the Irish scene. Her fifth studio album, Lily, is out on April 2nd.

Presiding over a range of left-field guitars, newfangled synths and caveman percussion, Scott sings in a cracked alto with ‘dreamlike, enigmatic lyrics, deadpan delivery and odd phrasing’-Evening Herald. Named among The Ticket's top fifty Irish acts right now, a live review from The Irish Times, describes her performance as 'a beguiling snapshot of a musician in thrall to her music but not her ego'.
A prolific writer and busy performer, Scott has shared the stage with artists as diverse as Patti Smith, Howe Gelb, Kristen Hersh and Mark Lanegan while her music has featured in TV and film across Ireland and the USA including acclaimed Irish thriller, Citadel. Twice nominated in the best female category for the Irish Meteor Awards, Ann Scott has carved her own niche as an independent and firebrand songwriter. Her debut album Poor Horse was voted into the Hotpress musicians' poll of Ireland's top 100 albums, while follow ups, We're Smiling and Flo have received hearty critical acclaim and a growing number of converts, with Tony Clayton Lea including We’re Smiling in his 2011 novel of ‘101 Irish Albums You Must Hear Before You Die’
"Not one of the highly hyped songwriters but definitely one of the most talented" —Dan Hegarty - 2FM
