Aoife O’Donovan plays "Nebraska" coming to Boulder

Article Contributed by Boulder Theater | Published on Wednesday, April 19, 2023

Aoife O’Donovan will perform Bruce Springsteen’s album Nebraska solo in its entirety. The New York Times described Aoife’s performance of the album as "saluting Springsteen’s songcraft with clear, pitch-perfect articulation and affable delivery.”  The live album is available digitally only via Aoife’s Bandcamp. Aoife will also perform several songs from her catalogue and 3x Grammy nominated album Age of Apathy. These will be the final shows of the Nebraska 2023 tour.

GRAMMY Award-winning artist Aoife O’Donovan operates in a thrilling musical world beyond genre. Deemed “a vocalist of unerring instinct” by the New York Times, she has released three critically-acclaimed and boundary-blurring solo albums including her most recent record, 2022’s boldly orchestrated and literarily crafted Age Of Apathy. Recorded and written over the course of Winter and Spring 2021 with acclaimed producer Joe Henry, Age Of Apathy is “stunning” (Rolling Stone) and “taps into the propulsion of prime Joni Mitchell” (Pitchfork).

Age of Apathy received 3 nominations at the 2023 GRAMMY Awards including one for Best Folk Album. Folk Alliance International named the song “B61” their 2022 Song Of The Year.

A savvy and generous collaborator, Aoife is one third of the group I’m With Her with bandmates Sara Watkins and Sarah Jarosz. The trio’s debut album See You Around was hailed as “willfully open-hearted” by NPR Music. I’m With Her earned an Americana Music Association Award in 2019 for Duo/Group of the Year, and a GRAMMY-award in 2020 for Best American Roots Song.

O’Donovan spent the preceding decade as co-founder and front woman of the string band, Crooked Still and is the featured vocalist on The Goat Rodeo Sessions - the group with Yo-Yo Ma, Stuart Duncan, Edgar Meyer, and Chris Thile. She has appeared as a featured vocalist with over a dozen symphonies including the National Symphony Orchestra, written for Alison Krauss, performed with jazz trumpeter Dave Douglas, and spent a decade as a regular contributor to the radio variety shows “Live From Here” and “A Prairie Home Companion.”
