PORTLAND — Award-winning singer, composer and producer Julie Feeney, winner of the Choice Music Prize for “Irish Album of the Year,” will perform at 8 p.m. May 11 at the Maine Irish Heritage Center.

Hot Press says she combines a “mesmerizing stage presence and eccentric pop genius,” taking an avantgarde approach to her innovative, one-of-a-kind sound, which, while rooted in classical music, straddles both the pop and theatrical worlds, according to a release from the center.

The Village Voice said Feeney blends “the pop ambitions of Gaga with Elvis Costellvian wordplay.”

Feeney’s music is widely broadcast on TV and radio and her recent sold-out performance at Ireland’s National Concert Hall received a 10- minute standing ovation, the release states.

She will come to Portland after a 10-performance run in New York City.

Tickets cost $20 and are available at the door or at www.maineirish.com or at the door.
