Lisa Canny

7-time All-Ireland champion on harp and banjo, Mayo-born and bred Lisa Canny began her career touring the U.S., Canada, Russia and Europe extensively as lead singer and music with groups Celtic Crossroads and The Young Irelanders, playing to live crowds of over 50k and appearing on 2x PBS specials.    Lisa holds a BA in Irish Music and Dance and a MA in Ethnomusicology.
“Discovered” by Miles Copeland (The Police, CIA Records) at a gig in LA Lisa was soon after invited to ASCAPs Annual Songwriters Retreat and introduced to Jodi Marr, who signed her to her first publishing deal with AbFab Artists.

As she began to write her own material Lisa found that she was inspired as much by contemporary music genres like pop and electronica as she was the Irish traditional and folk music she was brought up on.  Combining these elements, Lisa’s original music is unlike anything else.
