Niamh McKinney is a singer-songwriter from Wicklow. Having kept notebooks of poetry since childhood, she didn't start writing songs until one day in 2015, when songs suddenly started pouring out. Unsure as to the nature of what she had composed during this first creative burst, a form of validation came a month later when she won the Allingham Songwriting Competition with one of the first songs she wrote.
      Poetically rich - both lyrically and melodically - her heart-rending songs draw on stories and life experience, captivating by way of their ethereal sense of urgency and foreboding.
     Niamh writes her songs a capella. Her musical partner and husband Stephen McKinney (who has previously played guitar and synths with prog rock fusion band Leo Drezden) then crafts evocative guitar accompaniment which interweaves seamlessly with the songs, complementing their haunting quality. The two are currently working on producing their debut album.


Singer/songwriter Britta Pejic (who now releases music under the name RiFFiNDoTs) has a songwriting career that has spanned over two decades and two continents! She finds inspiration in the mundane and spins wildly epic tales (giant onions, America folding in half, etc.) that are set to colorful psychedelic and textural rock and pop. It’s been labeled as ear candy, with codas sung in French, chants sung in Latin, and measures counted in Basque. Be sure to visit Riffindots.com for more fanfare and antics!

Each week we choose a theme, and present various stories on that theme. Hosted by Ira Glass. Produced by Chicago Public Media. Distributed by Public Radio International.
