Pollyanna & Oiao

The Richmond Revival, College Road, Fermoy, Co. Cork, P61 T292

Sat 26th Sep, 7:00 pm

The Richmond Revival is delighted to welcome back Pollyanna who will be joined by the highly accomplished Oaio.

Some of ye will remember last years show which was (of course) fantastic and intimate.

Pollyanna

Pollyanna is a French Indie-Folk project led by Isabelle Casier. Her honest songwriting and heart-warming voice has led her to many different places all across the western hemisphere. She shared the bill with riot grrrls stars (Sleater Kinney), sophisticated indie pop (Wilco), French chanson (Françoiz Breut), rootsy folksters in Tennessee and shanty choirs in Germany.

A curiosity and taste for friendliness that is noticeable whether she plays solo or lines up a full band. Despite a natural flair for minor chords, Isabelle’s cheerful presence, eclectic taste and experiences as an outsider (in Europe and the Americas) open up her musical field to all things pop, rock, folk and folklores. A fair collection of ballads that often sound like pure classics.

Oaio

Bathed in folk, then falling into Latin American music, Oaio plunged into jazz then headed towards bluegrass, to emerge from these adventures with a first album, Bizarre Monde, tracing the path of an anti-purist French song, mixed with the Mediterranean and the Americas.
