KAREN MATHESON

About the Artist

Karen Matheson has captivated audiences around the world and sold over a million records as the lead singer of the best-selling, internationally-renowned Celtic supergroup Capercaillie, recognized by Billboard magazine as “the most exciting and vibrant band in the field of Celtic music today.” Downriver, her third solo album, is a powerful collection of traditional and contemporary songs in English and Gaelic, delivered in a striking, paired-down acoustic setting. The album features special guests Donal Lunny, James MacIntosh (Shooglenifty), and Michael McGoldrick and is produced by Donald Shaw (Capercaillie, Karan Casey). “Matheson's ravishing voice coupled with Shaw's arrangements create a serene sonic environment that lets the inner beauty of her music glow brightly.” ~ Vintage Guitar.
