Lorraine Nash

Lorraine Nash, noted as ‘The Future of Irish Folk’ by Irish Independent, graced Australia's prestigious stages and long-running folk festivals, such as Port Fairy Folk Festival and Blue Mountains Folk Festival in early 2024 - all this by the age of 25!
Born in County Kerry, Nash began her musical journey at 6 years of age, becoming a talented multi-instrumentalist of traditional Irish music - Piano, Guitar, Fiddle, Tin Whistle, Flute - she incorporates many elements of this into her current recordings, while also drawing from her love of Folk, Country, and Americana.
Citing an array of influences from Aoife O’Donovan and Gillian Welch, to Laura Marling and Lisa Hannigan, Lorraine remains authentic to her own style and songwriting sensitivity. In the wake of her debut album ‘All That I Can Be’ critic John Meagher said of Lorraine, “If Neil Young was the master at writing songs that get to the heart of the human condition, the same can be said of Nash's from-the-heart compositions.”
Jan 2025 she performed on Ireland’s biggest TV programme, The Late Late Show to celebrate 20 years of TradFest, dueting with Mike Hanrahan of Stockton’s Wing on the iconic song ‘The Voyage’, while in 2024, she fulfilled a wish to perform her single ‘Getting Started’ live on Ray D’Arcy’s National Radio Show, RTÉ One.
Following airplay from Mark Radcliffe’s Folk Show BBC Radio 2, Lorraine performed at the prestigious Cambridge Folk Festival July ‘24, & subsequently went on to sign with Live Booking Agency ‘Midnight Mango’ for the UK and Europe, and other performance highlights of 2024, include All Together Now, Sligo Live and Electric Picnic.
On 5th March 2025, Lorraine will release ‘Carraig Aonair’, her first single in the Irish language, ahead of an extended/Deluxe version of her Debut Album ‘All That I Can Be’ on Fri 7 March, alongside 3 other tracks ‘Winter Sun’, ‘Getting Started’, and ‘Steel Hearts’.
