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 at the age of 25!
Born in Kerry, Nash began her musical journey at 6 years of age, becoming a talented multi-instrumentalist of traditional Irish music –Piano, Guitar, Fiddle, Harp, 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 Emmylou Harris 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.”
April 2024, she performed on a special RTÉ 1 primetime music TV show, ‘Songs of Ireland’, with Mike Hanrahan of Stockton’s Wing.
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 perform her latest single ‘Getting Started’ live on Ray D’Arcy’s RTÉ Radio One Show. This single is the first from a new release in Jan 2025. Other performance highlights of 2024, include All Together Now and Electric Picnic.
