Lisa Canny




  Fri 7th Aug | Doors 8pm. Show 9pm | Ruby Room | Tkts: €13

Lisa Canny is a multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter from County Mayo. With roots in Irish traditional, folk, pop, and soul music, Lisa’s unique sound has been compared to a wide range of artists from Kate Bush and Sinead O’Connor to Ingrid Michaelson and Hozier. 

Lisa is set to release her debut single entitled “Lifeline” on 12th June 2015. She wrote the song with Grammy Award winning songwriting Jodi Marr. Although only new to the singer/songwriter scene Lisa has already grabbed the attention and backing of major players in the industry including Miles Copeland (The Police, Sting), Julian Emery (McFly, Busted), and George Noriega (Shakira, Ricky Martin). The next year looks hugely promising for the small-town girl with the big voice! 

With 7 All-Ireland titles to her name on traditional harp and banjo, Lisa toured the US and Canada extensively with Celtic Crossroads as lead singer and musician, appearing on their PBS special DVD in 2014. At home on the road Lisa has also toured France, Germany, Austria, Russia, Italy, the UK & Ireland with groups Fuinnimh, Celtic Spree and Ragus. After graduating with a First Class Honours degree in Irish Music and Dance at University of Limerick in 2010, Lisa went on to achieve a First Class Masters degree in Ethnomusicology at University College Cork.  

In September 2012 Lisa went to ASCAP’s songwriting retreat in France. She was invited by Miles Copeland (former manager of The Police) after he saw her perform in L.A. During her time in France Lisa worked with some of the biggest artists, songwriters, and producers in the business including Priscilla Renea Hamilton (Rihanna, Madonna, Selena Gomez, Cheryl Cole), Jodi Marr (Mika, Paloma Faith, Ricky Martin), Hillary Lindsey (Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw), and Claudia Brant (Barbara Streisand, Josh Groban, Michael Bublé).

In August 2014 Lisa signed a publishing deal with London/Nashville company AbFab Music Publishing (ASCAP)/Little Ruth Music (ASCAP).
