“SÍOMHA draws on a deep well of soul. This music transcends boundaries in a way I’ve never heard. And every second of every song is rooted in groove.”
Performing songs from her much anticipated forthcoming album, SÍOMHA announces her ‘Infinite Space Tour’ across Ireland this November 2021.. Her new album is set for release next year.
Irish singer and guitarist Síomha (pronounced Shee-vah) dances the line between folk, jazz and neo-soul effortlessly taking audiences on an unexpected and unforgettable journey with her soulful melodies. Today Síomha shares her new single ‘Spéir Rua’ (Red Sky), giving us first glimpse into the ethereal newness and musical mastery of her new album ‘Infinite Space’ which is due for release in 2022.
track, Síomha says:
“Spéir Rua is a love song for the landscape of the West of Ireland. It was inspired by many late night drives after gigs when I lived right on the West Coast at the edge of The Burren. As I got closer to home, I was lucky to witness the beautiful red blaze of the morning sky. Nature was giving her best performance and in those moments it felt as though I was the only spectator. I would stop and sit alone and watch the night sky light up and become a new day.”

“Spéir Rua is one of my favorite tracks from my upcoming album. It’s exciting, mellow and sexy all at once. The sound is smooth, warm, energetic and life giving, just like a sunrise”.
The track begins with the cool sultriness of night and explodes with the fiery colours of a morning sky. The landscape of the song is painted by breathtaking strings, worlds of percussion, rich choral arrangements and a rhythm section rooted in groove.
‘Spéir Rua’ was translated into Irish by Billy MagFhloinn. It was recorded in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and produced by Grammy nominated Tyler Duncan (Carly Rae Jepsen/ Theo Katzman/ The Olllam). It features an all-star lineup of musicians including Joe Dart (Vulfpeck), Martin Atkinson, Michael Shimmin (the ollam), Louis Cato (Bobby McFerrin/ Snarky Puppy) and violinist Jeremy Kittel (Bela Fleck/ Chris Thile).
This unique union of Irish lyrics soaring over a backdrop of music rooted in jazz and soul is like nothing you’ve ever heard before. See Síomha perform live this month on her Infinite Space Tour - an Album Preview Tour, giving audiences the opportunity to hear Síomha’s new album Infinite Space from start to finish before its release next year.
Síomha, a former student of the Music, Management & Sound course at Colaiste Stiofain Naofa, performs live at Cyprus Avenue, Tuesday 16th November, as part of her tour.
"In 2010, I went to CSN to study music. I was really interested in every aspect of being in music and they covered the whole cycle from songwriting and band arranging to studio recording and release planning. Cork has such a vibrant music scene and we put on shows in all the big venues a couple of times per year. It gave us the chance to work in every job relating to a gig, not just performance. I learned a lot during my time there and when I left I felt like I had very practical tools to understand how the music industry works. I stayed living in Cork for a few years after that as the music scene was so good."
Tour dates:
Saturday November 13th Glór, Ennis
Tuesday November 16th Cyprus Avenue, Cork
Thursday November 25th Dolan’s, Limerick
Sunday November 28th Whelan’s, Dublin
