After taking a 7 year break from music, Nicole Maguire is now back and armed with a batch of new songs under her belt. Having released two already critically acclaimed albums in 2012 and 2016, 2024 will see Nicole return to the stage to share and road test her new work.
Before taking a break,Nicole had made major waves on the international music scene. Counting Damien Dempsey and the late Nancy Griffith as friends and mentors Nicole has grown from a shy 15 year old performer to a mesmerizing, accomplished star, whether fronting a band or performing solo with acoustic guitar.
Nicole travelled to Nashville to write and from there road tested her songs around America. She also worked with one of the most respected producers in the world, multi Grammy nominated Mitchell Froom (Pearl Jam, Randy Newman, Ron Sexsmith – to name but a few). Since then, Nicole has shared the stage with many of her musical heroes such as Paul Brady, Glen Hansard, Vince Gill, Don McLean, Donovan, Damien Dempsey, Nanci Griffith and Mundy to name but a few. She has also performed two solo nationwide tours, as well as touring Switzerland and the U.S on numerous occasions.
In June 2015, two of Nicole’s songs were featured in Oscar winning actor Robert Duval’s movie ‘Wild Horses’. In late 2015, Nicole went back into the studio, this time with producer Gavin Glass. Hand picking an elite group of Ireland’s finest musicians, they joined Nicole to create her second studio album titled ‘Wishing Well’ released in April 2016. The title track of the album features the vocals from one of Ireland’s finest songwriters, and one of Nicole’s heroes, Paul Brady.
