Willow is a range of sound and emotion, recorded across two iconic locations: Sound Emporium Studios in Nashville and The Barn of Music in Dublin.

This sophomore album leans heavily into McMahon’s love for old-school soul, with lush, warm keys and organs played by Boston native Clifford Bond and a crisp drum backdrop provided by Colorado’s Dev Malloy.

The basslines are brought to life by the fingers of Nashville session player Zachariah Witcher, while Dubliner Darren Giles adds a tasteful touch of electric guitar, all surrounding McMahon’s vocals which are the heart of this EP.

Whether tender or soaring, her voice channels the spirit of a true storyteller, reminiscent of the greats like Aretha Franklin and Jeff Buckley. Each track on Willow is meticulously crafted, showcasing her ability to blend soulful melodies with deeply emotive lyrics.

From the reflective “Letting Go of You” to the gospel-infused “In Another World” and the meditative “MANTRA,” each song offers a unique glimpse into McMahon’s world.

The EP’s title track, “Willow,” is particularly evocative, blending imagery of nature with themes of wisdom and soul-searching.

At her Dolan’s gig, fans can expect an intimate and soulful experience, with McMahon’s live performances known for their emotional depth and captivating energy.
