‘Fire in the Sea!’ is an Irish-Americana album from Maria Shiel from Galway, Ireland.
(Release date 12th September 2020)

'Fire in the Sea!' is inspired by the Atlantic ocean and the landscapes of America. It is the story of connection between ancient races; musical letters of love from Ireland to America and an homage to the great elements of life: fire and sea.

"The album showcases Maria’s own esoteric take on 'trans-atlantic sea-folk' exploring the boundaries of time and the human connection with land, sea and music through multi-generational migration". (Not Bad)

PRESS

"With Fire In The Sea, Maria Shiel delivers the kind of Celtic-infused Americana that gives the genre a good name. What we have here is quality songwriting, expert musicianship, and melodies you'll be humming from one side of the Atlantic to the other." (The Irish Times)

" Bristling with Confidence. A remarkable and honest debut album’ (Finbar Hoban Presents)

‘This is music for staring out to sea on stormy days and for dancing around fires on clear moonlit nights.’ (Notbad)
