Seemingly from another world (but really just from Canada) harpist/songwriter Loreena McKennitt possesses a multi-octave singing voice that lights up her celestial, Celtic-derived compositions. She often matches classic British poetry with original music that mines neoclassical terrain mixed with Elizabethan folk, Middle Eastern styles, and other ethnic influences. She has been releasing albums of her unique music since the mid-1980s to a devoted following, and she'd remained an independent artist until the late '90s, when she signed a distribution deal with Warner Brothers. McKennit continued to record and tour selectively on her own schedule into the 2000s.

  One of my Favorite artists/singers! She is great! Haunting and Ethereal vocals - I just love that kind of thing! :) Those of you who like Loreena Mckennitt might want to also check out Tori Amos, Celtic Woman, Moya Brennan, and Lisa Gerrard (if you haven't already) as they are all great also, and similar in many ways.. :)
