Location: Barrel Yard
Grey DeLisle brings her spellbinding mix of americana, folk and alt-country to Kilkenny Roots Festival backed by The Blue Ribbon Boys. With her warm, slightly melancholic voice and a songwriting style rooted in love, loss and everyday life, she leans into a kind of roots music that feels timeless without turning dusty.

DeLisle is known to many as a voice actor from titles like The Simpsons and Scooby-Doo, but she is also a widely respected singer-songwriter with a strong foothold in americana. The listing paints her music as full of old love letters and half-forgotten melodies, with clear echoes of artists such as Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton. Albums like Iron Flowers and The Graceful Ghost helped secure that reputation, and her live shows are described as intimate and pure.
