Garry O'Brien

Soul // Ballymun, Dublin

''Fresh from a tour with his hero Damien Dempsey throughout Ireland in venues like 'Spirit Store' and 'Drogheda Arts Center', Garry O'Brien has gone from support act to headline act of his own packed show in one of Irelands premier music venueS, Whelans, which has seen the rise of Irish superstars such as The Script and Christy Moore.
Garrys uniquely diverse playing style, fusing Irish Trad, Gospel and Folk has one of many admirers and an ever growing fan base. Top Irish Music Magazine critic Oliver Sweeny of Hotpress said 'A writer whose songs invite favourable comparisons with the best of Damien Dempseys work, and that of Mundy, his future is bright beyond compare''.
His talents have been honed from his work with Kevin Kelly and his award winning Our Ladies Gospel Choir (Best All Ireland Gospel Choir 2010). Growing up in an area which has had music talent in an abundance like Aslan and U2, Garry could soon be among the best Ballymun has produced.''
