Wallis Bird is one of the finest talents to emerge from Ireland over the past five years.
The songstress from the sunny southeast is an amalgam of all that is soulful in trad, folk and blues music.
Unlike the thin-spread vocals employed by many indie singers du jours, Wallis’ powerful voice is a rousing breath of fresh air – and allows her to channel legends like Aretha Franklin, as she demonstrated to JOE Sessions with her flawless cover of classic (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman.
In addition, Wallis also performed an a cappella version of her single Home – the lead single from her new album of the same name, which goes on global release on September 30.
Check these out, you’ll be blown away.
