About Kyle Carey
Kyle Carey’s unique fusion of ‘Gaelic Americana’ music includes influences from the American Folk Anthology, the traditional music of Cape Breton, Ireland and Scotland, and the Appalachian poetry of Louise McNeill.
Kyle spent her earliest years in the Alaskan Bush, where her parents were teachers. There, she immersed herself in the Yupik language and its songs, developing a sensitivity to language and music that would aid her later in creating her own style of trans-Atlantic folk.
As a young woman, Kyle traveled to Cape Breton on a Fulbright Fellowship to learn Scottish Gaelic. Afterward, she spent a year on the Isle of Skye in Scotland—honing her skills in the Gaelic language and studying singing technique with Lewis-born singer Christine Primrose, before landing finally in Ireland—where she recorded her debut album.
To date she has released four albums—Monongah, North Star, The Art of Forgetting and The Last Bough. All were critically acclaimed and are a direct, compelling expression of her distinctive ‘Gaelic Americana’ sound.
