Maud in Cahoots comprise of Dublin sisters Maud and Zoe Ní Riordáin, Stephen Markham and Alan Connon .

"Undisputedly one of the finest unsigned acts in the country. We recommend getting on this particular bandwagon early. If they become as big as they deserve to, you may soon struggle to get tickets.... - Hot Press Magazine

Combining luscious chamber-pop arrangements with melancholy melodies worthy of the most lovelorn of Scandinavian chanteuses, Maud in Cahoots occupy a point on the alternative music epi-centre. In September 2014 the band presented a music theatre piece at The Abbey theatre as part of the Tiger Dublin Fringe Festival. The Well Rested Terrorist was a unique piece of musical theatre, placing a live band in the context of a theatre that showed that this band isn’t afraid to do things differently. Maud in Cahoots released their single Greatest Achievement in April 2015 and following a busy transatlantic few months they are now releasing “Cure for the Crazy” on Friday 18th September.

Following an acclaimed slot at Electric Picnic Maud in Cahoots play a headline show at Dublin’s Grand Social on Saturday 19th September with special guest Cut Once .

SOME PRESS QUOTES

“One of the best sets of the weekend (Electric Picnic) was Maud in Cahoots…..It’s been fascinating to watch that band grow, develop and morph into something truly captivating with bags of star quality.” Una Mullally, Irish Times.


"Break out your calendars, gig-goers of Dublin, and mark in the date of the next Maud in Cahoots show in your diary. If you like to dance, if you like music, you’ll scarcely find a better act" – Goldenplec.com
 

****“Maud Ní Riordáin is a striking, controlled presence with a pristine voice...Maud in Cahoots present a ‘live concept album’... always absorbing; a painstaking work, given startling execution.” Peter Crawley, Irish Times.

“If Beyoncé patented the "visual album," then leave it to Irish alt-pop ensemble Maud in Cahoots to pioneer the "live concept album". Inspired by the phenomenon described by neurologist Oliver Sacks in his book Musicophilia, The Well Rested Terrorist casts an eye over the varying effects that music has on the human psyche. Featuring nine new songs composed by Maud in Cahoots, this piece stars the captivating Maud in Cahoots and Rory Fleck-Byrne as two subjects that can only communicate via the medium of music and explores just what music can do a person. Noteworthy for being the first Fringe show staged in The Abbey, the show places the band in a live context that isn't merely a gig in a pub. The result is a wholly unique meditation on infamy, fear and coming to terms with being yourself.”  Le Cool Dublin

“The Well Rested Terrorist reminds you why albums are things to savour and digest” Una Mullally, Irish Times

“The festival can also work as a stage for acts to re-introduce or unveil a new aspect in their sound. Alternative-pop band Maud In Cahoots were a perfect example of this side to the HWCH experience.  As captivating and uncompromising as ever, the group’s show worked to highlight how they have continued to perfect and sculpt their music over the year. More thematic, theatrical and tinged in indie characteristics Maud In Cahoots gave an intriguing indication of how they have evolved in terms of sound.” – The Last Mixed Tape Blog.

An Irish vocalist, composer and bandleader, Jennifer’s music explores elements of many genres and tastes including jazz, soul and more conceptual ideas. As a contemporary artist, she continues to explore
the capabilities and nuances of the voice as an instrument. 
A graduate of the Master of Contemporary Performance and Production at Berklee College of Music in Valencia, Spain, she cites some of her influences as Gregory Porter, Melody Gardot, Jeff Buckley, and the vocal teachers she has had the pleasure of working with throughout her career.
Inspired lyrically by life experiences, compositionally by emotion and exploration and rhythmically by driving grooves and natural movement, Jennifer’s music has become a cross over of genres bringing drama through jazz, improv through soundscapes with a touch of soul for good measure. At the heart of it is the human experience: living it, witnessing it and sharing it: the light in the dark, the beauty in sadness, the turbulence in stillness.
Jennifer says her music is always evolving: seeking out new vehicles of form, style, interpretation and weaving it into the fabric of her artistry. 

Jennifer is a singer, instrumentalist, performer, composer, bandleader, arranger, educator and more recently, producer. With a voice equally as delicate as it can be powerful, Jennifer brings you on a journey, from the most vulnerable places to the most empowering.
