Miramichi's own 2012 ECMA nominee Irish Mythen headed to North American Folk Alliance in Memphis Tenn.

MO))) had the privilege to sit down and chat with Miramichi's own Irish Mythen this weekend. We discussed her recent ECMA nomination, and her big trip to Memphis, Tennessee to attend the North American Folk Alliance; a very big deal in the folk music industry. Irish had agreed to video blog with MO))) and share her experiences with all of her adoring fans in Miramichi on this most momentous occasion. This astonishingly driven, world class performer, will shine like no other I am sure, so lets all wish her luck on her journey to the top! Enjoy the video interview below and be sure to follow Irish on Facebook page or on Twitter, or her website. God's speed Irish, Giv'er!
