  • Bio

    "Rhiannon is a show-stopper -- not only for her glorious voice but also for her incredible versatility. She ranges across many styles and genres, and is equally at ease singing opera, blues, gospel and Gaelic or whatever the moment takes. A rare talent!" -- Margaret Bennett, folklorist and singer ........ "This beautiful young woman has been gifted with a gorgeous natural voice, which has been honed and trained through years of of opera singing. Classical training can sometimes be a detriment to folk singing - but emphatically NOT in this case. Rhiannon has the voice, she knows how to use it, and she is grounded and steeped in the folk tradition. Every note rings true." -- Mary Smith, Co-director, Richmond Folk Music
