Longford's backstage set to host 'The Nanci Griffith Songbook'

Nanci Griffith Song Book

The Nanci Griffith Song book is an evening of songs and stories dedicated to one of America’s greatest musical treasures. A Grammy Award-winning recording artist whose career spanned nearly four decades, Nanci Griffith’s unique blend of country, folk and pop music made her one of the most respected, popular and beloved singer-songwriters of her generation.

Much admired for her distinctive voice and guitar style, Nanci’s beautifully crafted songs told stories of life and love which resonated deeply with Irish audiences and were covered by Irish artists such as Mary Black (Once in a Very Blue Moon) and Maura O’Connell (Trouble in the Fields).
