Description

Moira Smiley shared original and traditional folk songs with unique arrangements, including banjo, accordion, piano, and body percussion. She sang soul-stirring arrangements of Anglo-Celtic ballads, American spirituals, European folk-laments, and sharp, poignant original songs that call effortlessly upon the audience to whisper, clap, or sing along. Themes of real and metaphorical border crossings—hopeful immigrants, exiles in mourning, or each of us seeking belonging and empathy—are the backbone of this repertoire.
