Eilidh (pronounced I-Lee) is the latest talented singer/ songwriter to emerge from Derry.
Following the success of her first E.P. Still Learning, Eilidh’s debut album arrives just in time for the 18th Appalachian and Bluegrass Music Festival. Influenced by fireside folk sessions with her family, Eilidh’s songs and voice stand out with shining clarity, capturing the heart and imagination of the listener.
Recent gigs have included showcases at SXSW in Austin, Texas and Nashville
gigs at The Belcourt Theatre and the world-famous Bluebird Cafe.
According to Maverick Magazine “Eilidh has a voice as clear as the frosty night air and her self-penned songs suggest a maturity beyond her years. Brilliant.”
While Beth Nielson Chapman has described Eilidh Patterson’s voice as “velvet and air, the richness of her sound and her songs is something beautiful to behold and she is definitely an artist to watch!”.
