Maria Nickolay performs songs from Wolves EP on WTIP

Today, Maria Nickolay is a musician based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, but several of the songs on her new EP entitled Wolves deal with her longing for her home where she grew up – Cook County, Minnesota. She speaks with Will Moore on the Scenic Route about life in Ireland, the long process of making this EP during the pandemic, and how she overcame losing her vocal strength after falling ill with COVID to finish the project. She performs two songs from the EP at the WTIP studios along with another song she wrote while living on the North Shore.
