A FEW WORDS FROM THE PRESS
Celtic MP3 Music Magazine
If anything sets Liz Madden apart from other Celtic/Folk singers, it’s her authentic and amazing voice. Never before has so much passion, energy and emotion poured out of a singer in every song. Madden was formerly half of the Irish duo RUA before she decided to go solo. “My Irish Home” is her third solo album release. What the album offers is a tapestry of her musical talents, woven with rich Irish musical tradition , heritage, and her incredible music and lyrics. Her songwriting skills will astound you.

Even though Liz Madden has been on my radar since I first heard Rua a couple years ago, this is her first solo project I’ve had the chance to listen to. ‘My Irish Home’ is Liz’s third independent solo release, and her second album recorded in 2009 (the other was her Christmas album released late last year).
All tracks are arrangements of traditional folk songs–ranging from Ireland, England and America–save for Lullaby (written by Liz, R. Cottle and F. de Barra) and Le Marais (written by Liz). Four languages are tackled on this album (English, Latin, French and Gaeilge) and her versatility is amazing. Not many people can boast such a linguistic range, but it comes as effortlessly as breathing to Liz. Click here to continue reading.

March 17th, 2010 by Gregg Senko Here at Why So Blu, we always like to point out great talent. In late 2009, we featured an interview/article on Irish singer Liz Madden, whose travels have brought her over the pond from the Emerald Isle. The woman behind the smooth-as-glass voice has released her latest work My Irish Home, now on available CD and also for download at Amazon and iTunes.

Folk that - Here come the Living Legends 2010 by Greg McInteer
Since parting company with fellow redhead Gloria Mulhall, Liz Madden has been exploring a whole world of differently hair-coloured collaborators. Of late she has been working with brunette fiddle player Niamh Fahy, who features on her latest release My Irish Home and who has been performing live with her. The new album features 13 tracks. Although most stick to the ‘Irish’ brief set by the title - ‘Spancil Hill’, ‘Galway Shawl’, ‘Danny Boy’, ‘She Moved Through the Fair’, ‘Shanagolden’, ‘I Know my Love’, ‘An Raibh tu ag an gCarraig’ – a few like ‘Banks of the Ohio’ and ‘This Land Is Your Land’ suggest that the flame-haired one is eager to push the envelope and explore some tunes that we may have shared with our cousins across the Atlantic at some stage. The reaction live to ‘This Land Is Your Land’ especially suggests that the gamble has paid off.
Check out a wonderful interviewand article on Liz by Gregg Senko.
If a harp had a voice, it would sound like Liz Madden. With a sound that flows through the air like rose petals through a wind chime, the Irish-born singer has recently made her way to the United States to grace us with her talent. Being inspired from a very young age by her parents, Ms. Madden encountered the world of music that would ultimately set the stage for her career.
