MICHAEL LOGEN

Grammy Winning Song-Writer and Grammy Nominated Singer-Songwriter

'Elaine Lennon's music and writing has a powerfully transporting, ethereal nature to it, immersing and lifting the listener with compelling storytelling and sincere truth-telling.'

DANNY SCHMIDT

Named to the Chicago Tribune's list of the '50 Most Significant Songwriters in the Last 50 Years'.

'Better late than never, Elaine Lennon didn't get her start in music until after starting her family. But rather than set her back, it gives us the treat of experiencing an artist who's new to our ears, but whose writing is already maturely developed, like a well-steeped tea, rich in colour and full of flavour, and with one of those rare voices that just sounds effortless and organic.'

‘Elaine has mastered the knack of creating original beautifully crafted songs, branded with her own unique sound, while evoking the distinct sensation you have been listening to her music all of your life!’

'Elaine Lennon in the singer songwriter round on Country on the Clyde was phenomenal. The sound of her voice, the emotion packed into every song was just spell binding...with a voice like hers you would have to be made of stone not to let it touch your soul.'

Event Attendee and Music Blogger

'On the back of her Danny Kyle stage success at Celtic Connections, she confidently performed songs from her forthcoming debut album. Sad songs make us happy, we were assured! In that case, Elaine is a musical stand up comedian as her songs didn't just pull at heartstrings, they surgically removed them with their beautiful poignancy.'
