Community Room

Irish singer/songwriter Paula Ryan performs a concert of original songs as part of her tour of the Eastern Seaboard.

Paula Ryan is a singer-songwriter, born and bred in Tipperary, Ireland, whose songs are inspired by the lyricism and musical passion of her Irish Gaelic roots and driven by the funky rhythmic influences and instruments of music from other cultures.

To accompany her songs, she plays marimba/tongue drum, guitar and a variety of percussion instruments including bodhran, djembe and darabuka. Her shows are filled with the joy of singing, thought-provoking lyrics as well as lively Celtic wit and humor.
