Amhránaithe - Celtic concert: Amelia Hogan, Jimmy Murphy & Camilla Wickman

Amhránaithe is the Irish Language word for singers, and for one night only, at Oran Mór meadery in beautiful Roseburg Oregon, they'll delight you with a variety of Celtic inspired, richly textured songs from across the Celtic Lands, including some that traveled to the West Coast of the US over the last 200 years, and back.

Amhránaithe includes
Amelia Hogan

Amelia Hogan is an impeccably authentic singer of Celtic music, and her deep understanding of the tradition comes through in honeyed tones on Irish, Scottish, British, and American-styled vocals. She sings strongly influenced by her deep roots in the Irish Sean-Nós, or “old style” tradition, a highly lyrical solo a cappella style, as well as with accompaniment, plays shruti box and a small 22-string Welsh lap harp, and has toured internationally to global acclaim. Hogan recently recorded and released Taking Flight, charting in the top 10 global folk albums at its release with Steve O’Neill of Foxtail Sound, co-produced by Ray Frank, Richard Mandel, David Brewer, Marla Fibish, Maureen Brennan, Rebecca Richman, and Christa Burch under her solo label. Other Projects Include: Falling You, Molly’s Revenge, NPR’s Thistle and Shamrock, Putumayo’s compilations, The Strand Irish Band, and numerous others.

Jimmy Murphy

Jimmy Murphy, guitarist and mandolinist extraordinaire, has been a cornerstone of the traditional Irish music scene in California for over two decades. He has appeared in performance venues from the Ford Amphitheater in Los Angeles to temples in Japan. He has performed on KPFK's "Global Village" with Eric Rigler, on KPFK's "Folkscene" with Mick Moloney, as part of the band Ciúnas, and live on KCSN's "Tied to the Tracks". Jimmy spent two years as a contracted musician in Japan; first as a soloist for Tokyo Disney Sea, then as a member of a band for Universal Studios, Japan, and finally as a key member for a four piece band again at Tokyo Disney Sea. He is the go-to guitarist for most Irish musicians in LA and has performed in many musical configurations. Other Projects Include: Rattle the Knee, and New Wild Hog.

and Camilla Wickman

Camilla Wickman (they/them) is a singer, storyteller, and aspiring sound healer from Wisconsin/Utah/Texas. They received their B.A. in Music Composition with a minor in Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity from Stanford University in June 2023. Their influences include explosive femme musicians like Tori Amos, Mitski, and Minnie Riperton. Camilla braids poetry into lush vocal textures with the rhythmic gait of piano rock, creating what one listener had called “operatic folk,” a label they will claim until it no longer fits. They are currently working on their debut album, Red Rock, Seal Skin, a family history concept album about land, Mormon colonial narratives, queerness, and kinship ties.
