Different kind of Celtic sound...

"If you are expecting an artist in the style of Enya, you may be
somewhat disappointed with this disc. The music is far closer to
Loreena McKennitt's sound then Enya.Still, from the first track,
you'll be hooked. The sound is somewhat more pop-ish than either Enya
of Loreena's work, which makes the music an interesting hybrid. Celtic
harp and Irish vocals are freely laced with modern percussion,
resulting in a pleasant and unusual soundscape.I'm looking forward
to the pending release of her new album.

"Emer Kenny's self titled CD combines haunting melodies with inspired lyrics. A must have for late night listening with the lights turned down low."

EMER Kenny Strikes gold with her Alt Harp music.

"Here is the heart of modern Celtic: with the folk swayings of the homeland, the techno soft popping beat of instruments blending in with harp, and the fusion of old and new style Celtic. If you are thinking: 'putting me to sleep' harp,' then you will be vastly disappointed: while ethereal and dreamily asethic, Emer has the ability to fuse softly flowing jazz rhythms with classical guitar, backed by multi-tracked angelic sounding vocals."
