Where Irish folk, dialect pop and singer-songwriters come together, Rose McCan is never far away.

As a multi-instrumentalist with wide-ranging interests, she loves writing songs, creating unusual covers and putting together varied playlists. On stage, the Zurich-based artist performs solo with her guitar, playing mainly her own songs – either as an Irish folk set or her Swiss German dialect songs in a singer-songwriter style. In the duo SaitWind, the focus broadens to include traditional Irish music, half of which consists of tunes (instrumental pieces), for which she also plays the mandola and the bodhran.

Anyone who appreciates a stripped-down, natural performance will enjoy Rose’s stage presence and her closeness to the audience.
