Fossils

Americana singer-songwriter Aoife O’Donovan spent the last 10 years playing in the celebrated progressive string band, Crooked Still, and has been collaborating with numerous other artists including Yo-Yo Ma, Chris Thile, Ollabelle, Sometymes Why, Jerry Douglas, Jim Lauderdale, Sara Watkins, and Kathy Mattea to name a few. Aoife’s writing came to the attention of Alison Krauss, when she recorded Aoife’s “Lay My Burden Down” in 2011 for her album Paper Airplane.

Aoife O’Donovan’s 'Fossils' finds the singer stepping away from the progressive bluegrass sensibility of her band Crooked Still.
