Gemma Hayes at Cyprus Avenue

Gemma Hayes has long established herself as one of Ireland's foremost musical talents. Known for her eclectic blend of folk, prog rock and electronica, Gemma has managed to carve out quite a rare musical path. Her debut album, Night on My Side, received great critical acclaim from all corners, garnering a prestigious UK Mercury Prize nomination and earning her an award as Ireland's best female. Gemma's subsequent release, The Roads Don't Love You, earned her yet another nod as Ireland's best female artist.

Hollywood has beckoned over the years as well, using her music in a variety of programmes and films -- from Grey's Anatomy to Alias and most recently One Tree Hill and The Vampire Diaries.

Gemma Hayes' much anticipated fourth studio album, Let it Break, out now, is an evolution of Gemma's unique style of music, combining prog rock, folk and electronica. The album is a collaboration with producer David Odlum, and features Paul Noonan of Bell X1 and Ann Scott.
