Maria Shiel - Fire In The Sea! - Album Promo by M ∆R i∆ M∆ Ri∆ published on 2020-09-22T09:40:02Z ‘Fire in the Sea!’ is an Irish-Americana album from Maria Shiel from Galway, Ireland.

It is the story of connection between ancient races; musical letters of love from Ireland to America and an homage to the great elements of life: fire and sea.
