Gráinne Cotter returns with a chilled and catchy tune.
Galway-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Gráinne Cotter has released a new single ‘Shadows’, a meditation on disconnection, on what it means to be alone, on the beauty of nature and, in particular, the sea.
Originally from Clare, Gráinne grew up in a musical family where she was encouraged to play the violin. She discovered a love of jazz and singing in college and was given the opportunity to study in Berklee College of Music in Boston for a summer.
This, combined with some time spent living in Paris, greatly influenced Gráinne and set her on the road to finding and honing her own individual sound.
Gráinne has since moved to the cultural hub of Galway, where she assembled some collaborators who worked with her on her debut album Tides.
It was well received by the Irish media and lead to slots at Electric Picnic, Other Voices and Féile na Bealtaine.
