Aoife O’Donovan (/ˈiːfə/ EE-fə; Irish: [ˈiːfʲə];) born November 18, 1982 in Newton, Massachusetts, is an American singer and songwriter. She is best known as the lead singer for the progressive bluegrass/string band, Crooked Still, and a member of the female folk-noir trio, Sometymes Why. Her first professional engagement was singing lead for the folk group The Wayfaring Strangers. She has performed and recorded with Ollabelle, Karan Casey and Seamus Egan, Jerry Douglas, Jim Lauderdale, Darol Anger, Sarah Jarosz, Sara Watkins, Christina Courtin, Chris Thile (Nickel Creek, Punch Brothers), Noam Pikelny (Punch Brothers), Edgar Meyer, Stuart Duncan and Yo-Yo Ma. O’Donovan has also performed with the Boston Pops Orchestra and the Utah Symphony Orchestra. In 2012, she sang on most of the tracks on the album "Be Still" by the jazz group the Dave Douglas Quintet, featuring trumpeter Dave Douglas. During the summer of 2013, she toured with Garrison Keillor and his "A Prairie Home Companion Radio Romance Tour." Performed at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark 2014.
Aoife (also spelled Aífe, Aeife; Irish pronunciation: [ˈiːfʲə]; /ˈiːfʲə/ EE-fə), is an Irish feminine given name. The name is probably derived from the Gaelic aoibh, which means "beauty" or "radiance". It has been compared to the Gaulish name Esvios (Latinized Esuvius, feminine Esuvia), which may be related to the tribal name Esuvii and the theonym Esus.
In Irish mythology, Aífe is the daughter of Airdgeimm, a warrior woman in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology. Aífe or Aoife is also the second wife of King Lir in the Irish myth Children of Lir and the twin sister (or, at times, the enemy) of Scathach. T. F. O'Rahilly supposed that the Irish heroine reflects an otherwise unknown goddess representing a feminine counterpart to Gaulish Esus.
The name is unrelated to the Biblical name Eva, which was rendered as Éabha in Irish, but due to the similarity in sound, Aoife has often been anglicised as Eva or Eve. Aoife MacMurrough (also known as Eva of Leinster) was a 12th-century Irish noblewoman.

Donovan (born Donovan Philips Leitch; 10 May 1946) is a Scottish singer, songwriter and guitarist. He developed an eclectic and distinctive style that blended folk, jazz, pop, psychedelia, and world music (notably calypso). He has lived in Scotland, London and California, and, since at least 2008, in County Cork, Ireland, with his family. Emerging from the British folk scene, Donovan reached fame in the United Kingdom in early 1965 with live performances on the pop TV series, Ready Steady Go!.
Having signed with Pye Records in 1965, he recorded singles and two albums in the folk vein, but after a new contract with US CBS/Epic Records his popularity spread to other countries. After extricating himself from his original management contract, he began a long and successful collaboration with Mickie Most, a leading British independent record producer, with hits in the UK, the US and other countries.
His most successful singles were the early UK hits "Catch the Wind", "Colours" and "Universal Soldier" in 1965. "Sunshine Superman" topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart (number two in Britain), and "Mellow Yellow" reached US number two the following year, with "Hurdy Gurdy Man" in the Top 5 in both countries in 1968. He was the first artist to be signed to CBS/Epic Records by the new administrative vice-president, Clive Davis. Donovan and Most collaborated on hit albums and singles between 1965 and 1970. He became a friend of pop musicians including Joan Baez, Brian Jones and The Beatles. He taught John Lennon a finger-picking guitar style in 1968. Donovan's commercial fortunes waned after parting with Most in 1969, and he left the industry for a time.
O'Donovan (Irish: Ó Donnabháin [oːˈd̪ˠɔn̪ˠəˌvˠɑːnʲ]) or Donovan is an Irish surname, also written Dhonnabháin in certain grammatical contexts, as well as Donndubháin, being originally composed of the elements donn, meaning dark brown or noble, dubh, meaning dark or black, and the diminutive suffix án. Ó derives from the earlier Ua, meaning grandson or descendant. Compare O'Donoghue and O'Sullivan, containing the same elements. The spelling of the name during the 16th and 17th centuries included Donevan, Donevane, Donovane, and other iterations. Pronunciation of the name in Ireland is closest to "Dunaven".
The O'Donovans are descendants of the 10th century Donnubán mac Cathail, ruler of the regional kingdom of Uí Fidgenti, as well as of his royal Norse relations from Limerick and Waterford, some belonging to the Uí Ímair. From his accession to the kingship in 962 to the death of Olaf O'Donovan in 1201, the Uí Cairbre, one of the two main constituent subkingdoms of Uí Fidgenti, operated as a semi-independent to sometimes fully independent regional ruling house within the larger (provincial) overkingdom of Munster. During the 13th century, most O'Donovans relocated south to the Kingdom of Desmond and to Carbery, where they were a ruling sept for centuries and played a role in the latter principality's founding. Several septs of O'Donovans were semi-autonomous flatha underneath the MacCarthy Reagh dynasty in Carbery, with the most notable more correctly local petty kings. Nearly five centuries later and eighty years after the fall of the Gaelic order, the O'Donovans were one of the few families of Carbery and Munster still allowed by the authorities to be of royal extraction. Today the family are still counted among the leading Gaelic nobility of Ireland.
Sarah Jarosz (/dʒəˈroʊz/ jə-ROHZ) (born May 23, 1991) is an American musician and singer-songwriter from Texas. Her first CD, Song Up in Her Head, was released in 2009 and the tune "Mansinneedof" was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of Best Country Instrumental Performance. Her second album, Follow Me Down, released in 2011, received a "Song of the Year" nomination from the Americana Music Associations 2012 Honors and Awards. Her third album, Build Me Up from Bones, was released on September 24, 2013 through Sugar Hill Records. Build Me Up from Bones was nominated for Best Folk Album at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards, and its title track was nominated for Best American Roots Song.
Jarosz was born in Austin, Texas, and raised in Wimberley, Texas. She has stated that her last name is Polish.

Lau & Aoife O'Donovan performing Lal Waterson's Midnight Feast Filmed at Lau-Land Sage Gateshead May 2014
With her absolutely gorgeous crystalline voice and unique singing style, Aoife O'Donovan has become one of folk music's leading lights. Upon going solo a few years ago, she practiced guitar incessantly so that she'd be able to accompany her singing, and in the process developed a distinctive, syncopated two-finger picking method. O'Donovan talks to AG about her "crash course" in guitar playing and shows off her 1934 size-0 Martin as well. We also discuss her array of influences--from mid-'90s Lilith Fair favorites to traditional folk and bluegrass--and, best of all, get to hear two lovely tunes.

Aoife O'Donovan sits down for a candid interview with eTown host Nick Forster.
With her absolutely gorgeous crystalline voice and unique singing style, Aoife O'Donovan has become one of folk music's leading lights. Upon going solo a few years ago, she practiced guitar incessantly so that she'd be able to accompany her singing, and in the process developed a distinctive, syncopated two-finger picking method. O'Donovan talks to AG about her "crash course" in guitar playing and shows off her 1934 size-0 Martin as well. We also discuss her array of influences--from mid-'90s Lilith Fair favorites to traditional folk and bluegrass--and, best of all, get to hear two lovely tunes.

The O'Donovans give their post race thoughts on bathing, cuisine, down time and race strategy in what can be argued as the best interview of Rio 2016. They row pretty well too.

In the midst of their 2017 "Release the Hounds" tour, the trio of Aoife O'Donovan, Chris Eldridge and Julian Lage stopped by the Fretboard Journal in Seattle.

Hit me like a hammer to my head
We thrashed in bed baby
Drove a truck right through my life
Struck me like a knife
There's a finger in my pie, someone else's guy
Caught you with your pants down, fingers in the till
Caught you stealing something, my last thrill
(1) Chorus:
At war with the world as this life unfurls
Ooh, better get ready
At war with the world, as this life unfurls
Better get ready
Living like a hound dog who's not fed
Life's one big bed baby
From the trash right on the street and anyone you meet
Trying to make the first glance and I doubt you will last
Caught you with your pants down fingers in the till
I guess I've swallowed life's hardest pill
