Maria McCormack is a singer/songwriter from Co. Donegal, Ireland. Maria has been songwriting since the age of sixteen. Maria released her debut album, ‘I Choose to Love’ in February 2019. The album received national and international airplay and reached number 3 on the RTE Radio One charts.
Having set up a GoFundIt campaign in 2020 for her second album, Maria McCormack is finally here with Matters of the Heart. It’s been a crazy three years for Maria, having fallen in love and having two more little girls and also sadly losing her mum, whom she cared for two years. The album tells stories of love and loss.
The album was produced, recorded and mastered by Billy Robinson in the Grooveshack recording studio in Ramelton, County Donegal and features a host of incredible musicians:
Billy Robinson – Bass guitars Mick McCarney – Guitars Pat Crowley – Piano, keyboards John McCullough – Piano, keyboards Laurence Doherty – Drums Romel Parol – Drums Peadar Coll – Fiddle Sean McCarron – Saxophone Mat Benson – Trombone Laura McFadden – Cello Rachael McGettigan, Jonathan Smeaton & Jack Smeaton – Backing vocals.
