Summary: <p>It took Aoife O’Donovan a decade to record her debut as a solo artist, the 2013 album <em>Fossils</em>. But it’s not like she was sitting around twiddling her thumbs prior to that. She was busy playing with the high energy bluegrass band Crooked Still, or collaborating with Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer, Chris Thile, and other stars of the strings. O’Donovan’s gorgeous 2016 record <em>In the Magic Hour</em> ties together elements of pop, folk, and bluegrass in a cohesive, emotive package. She plays songs in-studio (from the Archives, 2016)</p> <p>BONUS: You can also <em>watch</em> an archive of Aoife performing solo in our studio <a href="https://www.facebook.com/WNYC/videos/10153559511421080/">here</a>.</p> <p> </p>
