By Kim O'Leary

Naas based singer/songwriter Sina Theil will perform two of her latest singles in a special gig with a full band at McAuley Place in Naas tonight at 7.30pm.

Sina, 28, is originally from Germany but has lived in Naas for several months, and she is signed to Downda Road Productions since 2017. Sina’s new album “Under Cover” was released on iTunes, Amazon Music and major Download Services during the Summer and it charted at #1 in the Irish Country iTunes Album Charts and #5 in the Irish iTunes all Genre Album Charts.

Sina’s other recent releases 'Forever and a Day', 'Shut Up and Kiss Me' and ‘Stripes’ have all reached the coveted #1 spot on the Irish Country iTunes charts in recent months. Sina has scored six #1 singles in the Country Download Charts and her debut album charted at #1 in the Country Album Download Charts as well and #5 in the Overall Album Download Charts.

On Thursday 1 November, Sina released her new double A-side where the Country rocker will be showing her softer side with a very special version of "Travelin' Soldier" blended with "The Minstrel Boy", a traditional song which can often be heard at military occasions and funerals; as well as track no. 11 "Since You've Gone to Heaven" from her debut album "Under Cover". Both songs speak of loss and feature fiddle virtuoso John Davidson.

Speaking to KildareNow about her “Under Cover” ablum, Sina explained: “"Under Cover" is a collection of 11 tracks that have accompanied me and my manager Mike Gleeson, founder of Naas based record label Downda Road Productions, on the road for the past year, gigging up and down the Country. It includes artists such as singer-songwriter Brandy Clark, Country Rocker Gretchen Wilson, Irish music virtuoso Paul Brady, Jace Everett, The Eagles and many more and includes five of my top #3 download releases, including three #1 Irish Country iTunes Singles. Recordings were done at The Golden Egg Studios with producer & musician Brian O'Mahoney.”

Meanwhile, on Friday 2 November Sina will launch her new Double A-Side "Travelin' Soldier"/"Since You've Gone to Heaven" at McAuley Place as part of a small Ireland tour with a full band.

The event starts at 7:30PM and tickets are 12€/€15 with CD. Early bird tickets are already available on www.downdaroad.com and physical tickets will be for sale at the venue and the ISS Recruitment & HR Services office in Naas.
