Emilie Conway is an award winning and dazzling Dublin born jazz singer whose stage debut was an impromptu session with Jon Hendricks and Kurt Elling in a Chicago club in 1999. She released her debut album The Secret of a Rose in 2012 and her second album Dear World: Emilie Conway Sings Alec Wilder in 2016 – both were very warmly received.

She performs regularly in Ireland, Europe and the States; a recent career highlight came via an invitation to give a concert in the Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo for International Jazz Day together with her pianist Johnny Taylor and bassist, Damian Evans. Her musicians are second to none, sought after north and south, accompanying Mary Coughlin, Nigel Mooney, Suzanne Savage, Loah, Louis Steward and Cormac Kenevey. Bassist Damian Evans recently completed a PhD in Jazz Studies.
