  • Description

    Grammy-nominated Maura O'Connell worked with co-producer Gary Paczosa on a concept she's carried in her heart for quite some time: an a cappella album. "I've gathered the consciousness that singing should be just fine, that it is a viable talent on its own," the singer says of the 13-song collection.
    Widely acclaimed throughout her career as a vocalist and interpreter of utmost grace and insight, Maura O'Connell's latest album is a defiant, boldly undiluted statement on art of singing. 'Naked With Friends' consists of thirteen tracks of singing-and nothing more-and is decisive evidence that singing is more than enough.

    Maura O'Connell is a "singer's singer" folk artist who vastly transcends the folk genre.

    Features five traditional tunes in both English and Irish alongside songs by such writers as Elvis Costello, Darrell Scott, Janis Ian, Joan Armatrading, Cheryl Wheeler and Holly Near. Naked With Friends reflects Maura O'Connell's longstanding commitment to seeking out powerful songwriting, regardless of genre.
