Fiddle player, singer, and songwriter Meg LaGrande harnesses and remixes the power of Irish tradition, its earthy stories and ethereal strains. She uses loop pedals and age-old musicianship to summon Ireland’s wild storms and bittersweet tenderness.

The sought-after session player is now going solo. Her debut single, “With The Dawn,” bursts with gentle vigor and airy harmonies straight from the dunes of County Clare. Produced by Alex Ryan, the bassist and musical director for Hozier, “With The Dawn” channels the bittersweet evanescence at the heart of many an Irish song. The track is a treat for both rootsy indie fans (think Tash Sultana and Mumford & Sons) and Celtic music lovers (think Lorenna McKennitt and Clannad).

Captured in its accompanying video directed by Roisin El Cherif (Vikings, Fantastic Beasts, Game of Thrones), It's also a love song to one of Ireland’s cultural hearths, the West Coast with its North Atlantic gales, its crystalline waters, its imposing cliffs.
