LUX ALMA is the electro-folk solo act from award-winning sound designer and musician Alma Kelliher. Fresh from a world tour with thisispopbaby’s smash hit theatrical sensation RIOT, Kelliher launched LUX ALMA with her first single The Tomb in November 2018, which was immediately crowned Song of the Week by RTÉ Culture.
Her music is sometimes contemplative, sometimes pulsing, often concentrating on themes of female strength and Irishness. Unafraid of the darker elements of our legends, Alma channels the fierce power of everything from crone to goddess and turns her gaze to modern Ireland and the growing power of our women. This is all wrapped in a dreamy electro aesthetic with Alma’s soaring vocal at its core.
Alma has previously performed as a vocalist with Villagers, The Coronas, Cloud Castle Lake and Roisin O, has shared the stage with I Have A Tribe and Sun Collective, and supported acts including Wallis Bird and The Lost Brothers. Alma has also been one part of the hugely popular trio The Evertides, a mainstay of the Irish folk scene for a number of years, playing all the major folk festivals and getting broad radio play throughout Ireland.
