Festival of Folk - Irish Mythen (IRE/CAN)

Irish Mythen (they/them) is an Irish-born, Prince Edward Island–based singer-songwriter whose voice can quiet a festival field or bring it to its feet.

A JUNO nominee and winner of multiple Canadian Folk Music and East Coast Music Awards, Mythen has built a global reputation the old-fashioned way — by touring relentlessly and delivering unforgettable live shows.

They’ve appeared on stages from Glastonbury to the Sydney Opera House, shared bills with artists including Rod Stewart and Lucinda Williams, and become one of the most requested return performers at major folk festivals.

Their breakthrough album Little Bones earned a 2020 JUNO nomination for Contemporary Roots Album of the Year and won Solo Artist of the Year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards. The record pairs sweeping string arrangements with deeply personal songwriting, including songs that confront difficult chapters of Irish history with clarity and courage.

Onstage, Mythen is equal parts power and presence — capable of devastating intimacy one moment and rafter-shaking force the next. Whether performing solo or with ensemble, they create the rare kind of concert that feels communal, disarming and fiercely alive.
