Sharon Shannon returns with her brand-new studio album Sacred Earth. This is her first new studio album in 3 years and her tenth to date.

Sharon is a musician who likes to surprise. While she is best known for her arrangements of traditional Irish tunes and compositions, she has always been eager to explore new styles, and to meet and work with other musicians. Her Irish influences are cheerfully mixed in with often unexpected styles from around the world, including – for the first time - Africa.

The button accordion player from Co Clare, has recorded and toured with Bono, Sinead O’Connor, Jackson Browne, The Chieftains, The Waterboys, Willie Nelson, Nigel Kennedy, Alison Krauss and Shane MacGowan.
