About Sinéad Lohan

Sinéad Lohan is a singer songwriter form Cork who's music has been described as having a "folky feel" and her persona "by turns reflective, poetic and wistful." She began playing regular gigs at The Lobby in Cork in 1991, and soon began recording her first album, Who Do You Think I Am, produced by Declan Sinnott and released in 1995. Singles from the album scored several radio hits in Ireland. She released an excellent version of Bob Dylan's song To Ramona in 1996.

Her second album, No Mermaid, was recorded in New Orleans with producer Malcolm Burn and was released in 1998 on Interscope Records. In 1997, she toured as support to The Blue Nile. In 1998, she performed with Lilith Fair for three dates.

Lohan's song "No Mermaid" was used in the movie Message in a Bottle. Lohan did a tour of Ireland and UK with Joan Baez who later recorded Lohan's songs "No Mermaid" and "Who Do You Think I Am". The Canadian group Shaye recorded "No Mermaid" on their album The Bridge. The progressive bluegrass band Nickel Creek covered her song "Out Of The Woods" (also from the album No Mermaid) on their Nickel Creek album (2000). The song "What Can Never Be" was used in an episode of Dawson's Creek called "Northern Lights". In October 1999, her song "Everything Around Me Is Changing" appeared on the soundtrack for the film Anywhere But Here.

In 2004, Lohan began work on a third album with Malcolm Burn, the producer of No Mermaid; by 2007, the work was complete. However, the album was never released.
