Blending traditional Irish folk music, South American flavours and country music with a contemporary twist, Áine Tyrrell is an Irish-born singer-songwriter with her heart in Australia. Like so many of her musical brothers and sisters, Áine took to crowdfunding to record her debut album, Gypsy Daughter, an album recorded outdoors under the stars and in abandoned mines in the Australian outback. When asked about why she chose to record the album where she did, she replied: “I didn’t know where else to go, I needed to feel my pulse again.” The songbird procured the honour of the Queenscliff Music Festival’s ‘Emerging Talent 2014’.
