Athnaíonn Cíaróg cíaróg eile!

Amanda Shannon and Cairo Rocha are the soul force behind Phoenix and Wolfe, a multilingual musical duo blending Brazilian and Irish influences into a distinctive sound that combines Latin rhythms, jazz fusion, and Celtic folk traditions. Their music navigates themes of identity, memory, and cultural connection, creating an immersive experience that transcends genre boundaries, performed in English, Irish and Brazilian Portuguese.

Currently waiting to launch their debut album, the duo recently released a single funded by the Clare Arts Office, showcasing their evolving sound. They have performed at notable venues including Dolans, The Workman’s Club, and festivals such as MNA Festival, Hidden Hearth Festival, Clare Culture Night events, and will open Brazilian Day Gort 2025, and will take to the KINO to open for BEX in August 2025 also.

Their collaborations with Irish Women in Jazz, La Mansarda, and Bualadh Busk as well as a growing reputation within the Irish music scene opening for the likes of Dora Gola and Jayne, underscore their commitment to innovative, culturally rich music. Phoenix and Wolfe’s fusion of samba-root jazz with Celtic storytelling creates an intimate yet vibrant atmosphere, resonating deeply with audiences who appreciate genre-blending artistry.

Their musical influences span Brazilian popular music (MPB), jazz, Irish folk, and contemporary world music. Focusing on Latin American rhythms and jazz fusion, they craft sets that invite listeners into rhythmic landscapes infused with warmth, groove, and poetic lyricism.

Ideal for festivals celebrating multiculturalism, innovative folk fusion, and artist-driven experiences, Phoenix and Wolfe are well suited to curated events, and boutique festivals.

"Amanda and Cairo are two of the sweetest people and artists I've ever come across in all my time producing music.
