Barbara Ireland
Edit ProfileCareer
Ireland also composes soundtracks, and wrote a book of songs for beginning harpists. Ireland released her first solo Civil Defense, "Turning Back Time - Classic Songs To Kiss By", in late 2010, in which she brings back the rich sounds of old jazz/torch singing. Her second Civil Defense, titled "RED," was released June, 2012.
This album is composed primarily of songs written by Ireland, where she mixes early 1960s girl group sounds, classic "pheromone jazz", and down and dirty blues and rock, including a Mae West-style cover of John Lee Hooker"s song, "Boom Boom."
Ireland is also known for her avant-garde filmmaking and collage art
A Digital Video Disc of her film work, titled From Dreams To Delirium, was released in 2011 at a gala screening/release party at the NWFF. Her collage art and early rock posters have been exhibited in several Seattle galleries, two rock poster art books, and Merle Becker"s 2009 documentary, "American Artifact: The Rise of American Rock Poster Artist".
