Originally from the UK Callaghan moved to the USA in summer 2010 to record and tour with Grammy- Nominee Shawn Mullins and has been playing live and building her audience ever since.
Callaghan plays piano and guitar and delivers a stunning vocal which earns frequent comparisons with artists like Sarah McLachlan and Emmy Lou Harris. Her songwriting chronicles the stories, experiences and emotions which are part of everyone’s lives.
A long-time Shawn Mullins fan, she contacted the Atlanta singer-songwriter through MySpace, and after being knocked out by her music he agreed to a rare collaboration. Callaghan left her London digs and boarded a plane headed for the American South.
Her debut album, Life in Full Colour was tracked in and around Atlanta with Mullins both producing and playing on the record. It released in summer 2012 to a great reaction. The Huffington Post describes the album as “joyful listening”, while InLiveMusic says “Callaghan’s voice is stunning, clear and perfect for the story telling of her songs”
Since then Callaghan has been on the road touring with artists including Shawn Mullins, Ed Kowalczyk, Matthew Perryman-Jones and more. She’s now headlining shows across the USA.
A History of Now was entirely fan funded via Pledge Music and was produced in Nashville by Dennis Matkosky. The new record showcases Callaghan’s gift for melody and impactful songwriting in a collection which ranges from uplifting, exuberant anthems to poignant, mesmerizing ballads. A History of Now is available at live shows from January and gets its full release in Spring 2015.

“Breathtaking…absolutely incredible” is how BBC London’s Gaby Roslin described a recent live performance by Callaghan.
Originally from Lincolnshire Callaghan moved to the USA in summer 2010 to record her debut album with Grammy-Nominee Shawn Mullins. Since then she’s been performing and winning fans all over the USA.
Back home in the UK the BBC’s Bob Harris has been a strong supporter regularly playing her music and describing her as “a wonderful artist…hugely talented”.
Callaghan plays piano and guitar and offers a stunning voice which earns frequent comparisons with artists like Sarah McLachlan and Emmy Lou Harris. Her songwriting chronicles the stories, experiences and emotions which are part of everyone’s lives.
In 2015 she recorded her second album A History of Now in Nashville and, returned to Britain to tour. Since then her profile has built substantially in the UK with three singles playlisted on BBC Radio 2, multiple headline tour dates and festival appearances at Cornbury, The Secret Garden Party, Cambridge Folk Festival and more.
Callaghan’s also played live sessions for BBC Radio 2’s Bob Harris and Good Morning Sunday, BBC London’s Gaby Roslin and BBC Scotland’s Janice Forsyth. In April she finished her biggest UK tour to date, culminating with a show at London’s prestigious Bush Hall, and in July she joined Paul Simon, James Taylor and Bonnie Raitt at British Summertime in Hyde Park.
Her latest album, simply called Callaghan, releases on August 31st. It was written and recorded in Los Angeles with producers Anthony Resta (Elton John, Duran Duran and Blondie) and Starr Parodi and Jeff Eden Fair, who have made music for some of Hollywood’s biggest films including Harry Potter, Mission Impossible and James Bond.
Highlights include the thought-provoking ‘End of the World’ which features guest vocals from Louis Price (ex-lead singer of The Temptations), the uplifting love song Better Together written with Jeff Silbar (who co-wrote Wind Beneath My Wings), and ‘All Through The Night’ – a beautiful lullaby which features a 30 piece orchestra.
