Wildflower (Ava World Music, 2021) is the first solo album from Irish singer Ava, scheduled for release April 9, 2021. This is the artistic name of Éabha McMahon, an outstanding vocalist who previously performed with two of Ireland’s most famous acts, choral ensemble Anuna and later as lead vocalist with Celtic Woman with whom she recorded five albums.

The single Wildflowers will be available March 17, 2021.
