Boygenius Releases Charity Single 'The Parting Glass' in Tribute to Sinéad O'Connor

The cover, done in collaboration with Ye Vagabonds, will benefit the Aisling Project, a Dublin-based charity chosen by O'Connor's estate.

  • Indie supergroup boygenius, consisting of Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, and Julien Baker, released a cover of 'The Parting Glass' as a tribute to late Irish singer-songwriter Sinéad O'Connor.
  • The cover was done in collaboration with Irish folk duo Ye Vagabonds and is part of Bridgers' annual holiday charity single series.
  • All proceeds from the single will be donated to the Aisling Project, a Dublin-based charity providing after-school intervention to disadvantaged youth, chosen by O'Connor's estate.
  • The song 'The Parting Glass' is a traditional Irish and Scottish song that O'Connor herself covered in 2002.
  • The release of the tribute single follows a successful year for boygenius, which saw the release of their full-length debut album and six Grammy nominations.
