From old Irish love songs carried in memory, to self-penned songs of the heart, and well-known melodies that have travelled far beyond their first shores, Lisa Lambe brings an evening shaped by love in all its shades: the love that stays, the love that leaves, and the love that journeys with us always.

Described by The Irish Times as “the finest singer and actor of her generation,” Irish artist Lisa Lambe is a Billboard No. 1 singer, actor, and folklorist. For one special night marking Valentine’s weekend, she weaves songs and stories together in an intimate concert setting.

On February 13, Lambe comes to Banff Centre with a programme that crosses the Atlantic and generations: Irish love songs rooted in the old world, original songs born of the present moment, and beloved favourites that remind us how deeply we recognize ourselves in each other’s stories.

Lambe is joined by a stellar lineup, including Vincent Lynch, Jake Curran, and Nick Sagar, for Love Songs and Long Roads.
