Amelia Hogan is an impeccably authentic singer of Celtic music, and her “lilting, buoyant, distinctive voice” (AM Kennedy, Irish Music Magazine) comes through in honeyed tones on Irish, Scottish, British, and American-styled vocals. She sings both contemporary and traditional music well versed in the Irish tradition of Sean-Nós, or “old style”, a highly lyrical solo a cappella style, as well as with accompaniment, plays bodhran, Shruti box, and a small 22-string Welsh lap harp, and tours internationally to global acclaim.

Hogan’s newest project, Burnished, is a full length studio album, with a release date of April 1, 2025. Inviting listeners to relate to the landscape richly; featuring songs of place, and the folklore about our human relationships with genius loci or spirits of place and reminding us to engage in our relationships with them, mindfully. This album showcases the artistry of traditional music heavyweights: Richard Mandel, Jimmy Murphy, Marla Fibish, Skyler Blakeslee, Maureen Brennan, Lewis Santer, Steve O’Neill, Ray Frank, and Christa Burch and produced by Steve O’Neill of Foxtail Sound in Dixon, CA.

Her last project, the critically-acclaimed Taking Flight, co-produced by Ray Frank, charted in the Top Ten folk albums worldwide for the month of its release, March 2023, and Finished 2023  in the top 40, at #26.
