MOTHERLAND features songs of struggle and celebrations, performed by Edel Murphy (Celtic Woman, Riverdance) and a live band. Featuring evocative projected images alongside thought-provoking spoken word, Murphy performs iconic songs of struggle and celebration from songwriting greats such as Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Nina Simone, Kate Bush, Nanci Griffith, Dolly Parton, and The Beatles.
