Anam Danu began in 2019 as a collaboration between two musicians, vocalist/pianist Siobhan Monaghan and songwriter/bassist Andy Dawson Reid — each originating from different continents but sharing a Celtic heritage. In late 2023, they were joined by Adrienne Dyer, whose pure soprano voice brings a new palette of tones to complement Siobhan's distinctive contralto. Together, the trio creates original, unusual, and innovative adult-oriented pop music on the West Coast of Canada.
Searching out the unpredictable elements that make great songs unique, Anam Danu’s music and lyrics evoke a range of emotions and vivid images using a musical palette that varies from sparse piano accompaniment to a full orchestral soundtrack. The rich blend of Siobhan’s and Adrienne’s expressive voices are always front and centre.
Seeking to create something fresh and musically satisfying, the trio draws on their shared love of classic pop songs to create alternative adult-oriented music that is soulful, powerful, and cinematic. Anam Danu's fourth album, "Euphoria," is planned for release in the fall of 2024. This collection of 10 new songs will soon be available for streaming and for download along with their three previous albums, “Winds of Change” (2019), "Winter Blue and Evergreen” (2020), and "Soul Making" (2022); as well as 2023 singles "Perfect" and "The Journey Home."
