If you’re a lover of classic rock music, dazzling outfits and infectious energy, with a hint of nostalgia, Belfast, Northern Ireland, three piece rock band, Dea Matrona is for you.
Consisting of sisters Mollie McGinn and Mamie McGinn and their lifelong friend, Orláith Forsythe, the trio have been creating and performing music, inspired by the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin and The Beatles, together since 2018, and has been capturing the hearts of audiences ever since.
Celtic mythology defines the meaning of band name, ‘Dea Matrona’ as “divine mother goddess”, sparking a deep meaning to the all woman band and representing the femininity that they share within their music and their presence on stage.
The latest single from Dea Matrona, ‘Glory, Glory (I Am Free)’, was written during lockdowns in the United Kingdom.
The track is about a need for a sense of community and about making sacrifices for our loved ones.. It was written on the back of the realisation that the separation experienced during lockdowns, made them want to spend time with the people they loved so much more.
“We wrote it in the back of a car on a winter’s day. After having recently watched It’s A Wonderful Life, I feel that the film influenced the lyrics in a beautiful way as we were inspired by the idea of a spiritual experience. For me this song is about searching for answers in such strange and uncertain times…” Dea Matrona
