Melanie Beth Curran is a New York City-based folklorist, traditional musician, Irish American Song Saver, and writer. Her live performance “takes you on this journey through the evolution of Irish American music” by pulling field recordings through the annals of time and sharing them with a new generation of folk music enthusiasts.

Curran’s performance transports listeners back and forth over centuries of musical history and landscape, all while shifting narratives around the Irish-American experience through music. Fans of traditional American song, hidden histories, and Irish musicality will delight in Curran's performance of forgotten traditional and “rousing originals. Melanie was a Fulbright recipient for her work documenting the living musical traditions of Bretagne, France.
