Journey’s – Echo’s of the Land

Echoes of the Land
A Musical Journey of Home, Heartache, and Hope

Step into a powerful, song-filled story of courage, connection, and the timeless pull of home. Echoes of the Land invites audiences on an emotional voyage across oceans and generations, following the intertwined lives of two remarkable women—Jenny O'Doherty in 1848 and Isabel Louden in 1909—as they leave Ireland behind to forge new futures in America.

Though separated by more than fifty years, Jenny and Isabel share the same longing for the land they love, the same uncertainty of what lies ahead, and the same unbreakable spirit that drives them forward. Their parallel journeys unfold through a rich tapestry of traditional melodies and brand-new songs penned specially for the show by acclaimed songwriters Pauline Vallance and Jacynth Hamill.

Drawing inspiration from their own family histories, Pauline and Jacynth breathe authenticity and heart into every note. Their music—rooted in traditional and contemporary folk with touches of classical influence—transforms the stage into a living landscape of memory, resilience, and hope. From whispered goodbyes to brave new beginnings, every song carries the emotional weight of leaving home and the enduring strength found in carrying it with you.

Echoes of the Land is more than a performance—it's a poignant, uplifting celebration of heritage, identity, and the stories that shape us. Whether your roots reach back to Ireland or you simply love moving, beautifully crafted storytelling, this show will stay with you long after the final note.

Join us for an unforgettable evening.
Let the music carry you home.
