Hailing from the heart of Ireland’s midlands, Molly Donnery had an obsession with music. Coming from a background of traditional Irish music, she quickly fell into pop, musical theatre, and grew a fondness for performing. Her mix of contemporary ‘modern’ music accompanied by a harp proved successful, as she was invited to play on national television for a talent competition at just 13 years old.
When in college, Molly started dabbling with different genres and narrative styles, ultimately settling and finding her place with contemporary folk. Her current music is a testament to her deep appreciation of Irish music and heritage, infused with her honest and poetic lyrics. Listeners are left with a sense of nostalgia, after having been plunged deeply into melancholia.
In October 2024, Molly released her debut EP to critical acclaim. Kindline praised her ability to combine “the lyrical prowess of Joni Mitchell and the emotional rawness of Phoebe Bridgers with a modern folk twist,” while York Calling described the EP as “a showcase of her unique talent for melding traditional and modern styles.” Her “unmistakable voice,” noted Berlin On Air, “stands out among 1,000 others.” Other accolades include Irish Music Magazine’s description of her voice as “disarmingly sweet” and Music For The Misfits’ recognition of her “beautiful string-driven soundscapes, angelic vocals, and soulful compositions,” which captivate even fans of modern genres.
