One of Ireland’s most celebrated voices, Mary Coughlan, will perform in Belgrade for the first time as part of the 13th Belgrade Irish Festival.
The legendary jazz and blues singer, often compared to Billie Holiday, will take the stage at Dom omladine Beograda on March 13th.
With a career spanning over four decades and 16 albums, Coughlan is renowned for her deeply emotional interpretations and raw, uncompromising performances. Her music is an evocative blend of jazz, blues, folk, and rock, shaped by influences such as Billie Holiday, Bessie Smith, Edith Piaf, and Peggy Lee. Over the years, she has captivated audiences worldwide with songs that explore themes of love, loss, addiction, and resilience.
Her latest album, Repeat Rewind (2023), marks 40 years on the global music scene, revisiting some of her most powerful songs while introducing fresh interpretations. The Belgrade audience can expect an evening of timeless classics, new material, and a few surprises.
Beyond her music, Coughlan’s life story is one of remarkable strength and reinvention. Overcoming personal struggles, she has become a voice for those navigating hardship, bringing an unmatched authenticity to every performance. In addition to her musical career, she has also appeared in films directed by Neil Jordan, another esteemed guest of this year’s festival.
Tickets for Mary Coughlan’s concert at Dom omladine are available online and via the eFinity network.
For lovers of soulful, deeply moving performances, this is an unmissable evening.
