MOYA BRENNAN – VOICES & HARPS

www.moyabrennan.com www.voicesandharps.com

Moya Brenann played a couple of East Coast dates before appearing at the Milwaukee Irish Fest. She also took in Sellersville and the Towne Crier in Pawling New York during August. The good news for our American readers is that she will be back in New York in September for a record signing with Cormac De Barra and she is thrilled to announce her first California concerts in ten years! Moya will play Santa Cruz, Oceanside (San Diego) and Pasadena in mid-September and is really looking forward to seeing you all on the West Coast after a long absence. Moya’s new album with Cormac De Barra is now available through her website as a CD or as an MP3 download.
