Timeline

1969

Karan Casey (born 1969) is an Irish folk singer, and a former member of the Irish band Solas.

She resides in Cork, Ireland.

Casey was born in Ballyduff Lower, Kilmeaden, County Waterford, Ireland.

Her family encouraged her to sing in the house, in a church choir and at school.

1987

At Waterford Regional Technical College she studied piano then took music at University College Dublin in 1987.

Having learned to copy Ella Fitzgerald's scat singing, she performed in a Dublin bistro several nights per week while still a student.

At the Royal Irish Academy of Music she studied classical music and sang in a jazz band, then a folk-ballad band, then another jazz band.

She also fell under the influence of Dublin folk singer Frank Harte.

During this time she also formed her own band, called "Dorothy".

1993

In 1993, Casey moved to New York City, to study jazz at Long Island University.

When she began to frequent Irish traditional sessions in New York, she started singing Irish traditional music again, performing mostly in bars and local centres.

1994

During 1994, she sang with Atlantic Bridge before joining Solas, recording five songs on their début album in 1996.

At the same time, she was still performing jazz and folk material herself at the Tramps club in Manhattan, accompanied only by a percussionist.

1997

In 1997, Casey recorded a solo album, Songlines, inspired by the novel of the same name by Bruce Chatwin and produced by Séamus Egan.

The album featured both Irish traditional and contemporary folk songs, and included several members of Solas.

1999

Casey left Solas at the beginning of 1999 to pursue her solo ambitions.

She then moved back to Ireland, although frequently travelled between her home in Cork and America.

2000

In 2000, she collaborated with several other vocalists on Seal Maiden: a Celtic Musical.

It concerned the mythical creature called the selkie (in this case, a seal-woman).

The album featured a story written by Irish playwright Marina Carr narrated by Casey, produced by Niall Vallely and Leib Ostrow, and featured contributions from Martin Hayes & Dennis Cahill, Iarla Ó Lionaird, Máiréad Ní Mhaonaigh, Michael McGoldrick, Mel Mercier and Robbie Overson.

She joined Deirdre Scanlan (Solas vocalist 2000–2007) and Antje Duvekot, along with the male vocalists from the band.

2001

In 2001, Casey finished working on her second solo album, The Winds Begin to Sing (2001) which was well received by critics and propelled her into a stable solo career.

2003

She released Distant Shore in 2003 and toured extensively throughout the Americas and Europe.

2005

In 2005, Casey released Chasing the Sun featuring Irish traditional and folk songs which she learned from her mother and maternal grandmother.

The album included a number of songs written by Casey herself as well as songs by Belfast musician Barry Kerr.

The album was well received and was the last to be released on the Shanachie and Vertical labels so that Casey, husband Niall Vallely and other associated acts could release her music independently.

2006

In 2006, Casey joined her previous band Solas to guest on their live DVD and album, Reunion: a Decade of Solas.

On the recordings, Casey was joined by all of the band's past members and current members from the period.

2008

In 2008, Casey and her husband set up Crow Valley Music to release Ships in the Forest.

2010

In early 2010, Casey released Exiles Return, a duet album with former Solas bandmate John Doyle; it was listed among the Top 5 albums of the year by The Irish Echo newspaper.

2014

Released in 2014, Two More Hours was Casey's sixth solo album and her first entirely self-penned work.

Contemporary in tone, it takes a much more personal approach to her writing and singing.

It features a duet with Irish chart-topper Mick Flannery as well as contributions from Abigail Washburn and Aoife O’Donovan, and was produced by Niall Vallely.

A departure from the traditional music she has focused on for many years, Two More Hours draws on Casey's lifelong love of R&B, jazz and blues in creating a vibrant new mix of sounds.

Vallely's string arrangements help meld together a cast of Ireland's musicians from the worlds of classical, folk and rock music including Ken Rice, Kate Ellis, Sean Og Graham (of Beoga), Trevor Hutchinson, Eoghan Regan, Danny Byrt and Caoimhín Vallely.

2017

In 2017 Karan was Traditional Artist in Residenceat University College Cork, toured the UK with the Transatlantic Sessions, performed at Glasgow's Celtic Connections, and toured in the US both with her own band and with Lúnasa, including a performance at New York's Carnegie Hall.

2018

In 2018 Karan helped to found FairPlé which is an organization aimed at achieving fairness and gender balance for female performers in Irish traditional and folk musics.

2019

In 2019 she released her album, Hieroglyphs That Tell the Tale, on the Vertical Records Label.

Produced by renowned Scottish producer and BAFTA-nominated composer Donald Shaw, the album also features Karan's long-time musical collaborators Sean Óg Graham & Niamh Dunne (Beoga), Kate Ellis (The Crash Ensemble) and Niall Vallely (Buille).

Drawing inspiration from contemporary folk writers Janis Ian, Eliza Gilkyson, Mick Flannery and Bob Dylan, the album displays Casey's impressive talent as a songwriter.
