Irish harper, composer, and educator Holly Geraghty is set to release her debut solo harp album, Musical Musings from Mayo, on June 27. The album will be available for purchase on Geraghty’s website and on major streaming platforms.
According to a press release, the ten-track album blends traditional Irish music and newly composed pieces to pay tribute to the people, music, and landscape of Geraghty’s native County Mayo. Musical Musings from Mayo also includes contributions from guest artists, including Matt Griffin on guitar, Dan Bodwell and Caimin Gilmore on double bass, and Maria Ryan and Lucia MacPartlin on violin.
Originally from Ballindine, Geraghty has been immersed in Irish traditional music from an early age. She began her musical journey with the concertina before moving on to the harp, earning numerous All-Ireland titles on both instruments. Geraghty has performed and taught at academic institutions and international festivals across Europe, Britain, America, and Canada. Geraghty holds a Bachelor of Music from University College Cork, as well as a Graduate Diploma in Music Education and a Master’s in Irish Traditional Music Performance from the University of Limerick.
