Acoustic Alternatives with Iona Fyfe and John Bommarito

My first podcast guest from "across the pond" is the 25 year old Scottish singer Iona Fyfe. Drawing from the Celtic identity of her homeland, her beautiful voice helps paint imagery in your mind's eye of far off lands. She's quite an accomplished, intelligent and talented performer who is absolutely delightful to talk to.In 2021, she became the first singer to win the coveted title of Musician of the Year at the MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards. It was an absolute pleasure to spend an hour chatting with her.Songs include:Bonny UdnyScotland Yet (written by Davy Steele)The Waters MeetFor more information and to purchase her music Visit Ionafyfe.comMore information about how to support Acoustic Alternatives via Patreon visit johnbommarito.comThanks as always to my partners at Grove Studios!Extra special thanks to my first patron on Patreon, Stan Garfield and his wife Barb Hayes for opening up their home to me and Iona for not only her to perform a house concert for 50-60 people, but allowing me to use their front room to record this podcast in AFTER the show.
