BIO
Jane Willow is Dutch-turned-Irish singer-songwriter. Her new single ‘Letting You Go’ (October 18th) is the first single of her upcoming EP ‘Watch Me Fall’. On her new EP Jane collaborates with pianist Kevin Corcoran (Villagers, Saso). The EP melds alt-folk and indie-folk influences; backed with luscious electric guitars, dreamy piano and layered ethereal vocal harmonies. All the while keeping her her delicate voice and songwriting at the core.
Previously in 2021 Jane released her debut album ‘Burn So Bright’ which featured string arrangements by Joe Csibi (Head of RTE Concert Orchestra) with Dave Hingerty on drums (Glen Hansard, Kíla) and guest performances by Steve Wickham (The Waterboys) and Pat Byrne. In 2021 The RTE Concert Orchestra released an orchestral version of 'Let There Be Light’ for Women’s Day. While in 2023 another song of the album titled ‘In Your House There’ was used in a TV ad for charity organisation ALONE.
In 2025 Jane’s alt-folk EP titled ‘Watch Me Fall’ will come out, with a string of shows due to be announced in November.
