Sometimes I have to go looking for bands. Sometimes they music come to me. Sometimes I feel like going in search for the music myself even when the music does come to me. Today was one of those days. I often consult Breaking Tunes (it’s a brilliant platform for new Irish artists) and happened to […]
Back to action this week with some Southern Blues. Well it’s not what you think. This band hail from Cork and are exponents of some fine truthful foot-tapin’ blues that you have ever heard. One Horse Pony are a Cork based outfit formed a number of years ago through the very organic process of playing […]
Bringing you the best of americana, alt-country and folk from Ireland and internationally. Eirecana Podcast – Podcast VI: The Best of 2015 Welcome to 2016.

It’s funny how you come across some artists. I was browsing through No Depression last week and happened to find myself reading Lee Zimmerman’s series on Americana Abroad in which he covers the genre all over the world. One such artist that he mentioned was Aborist, a man by the name of Mark McCambridge. I […]
After a flurry of media updates, it back to what (I think) I do best this week. It’s an album review of Jayne Trimble’s most recent release “In The Morning”. The album was release in 2014 but as Jayne sent it all the way to me from Canada, I think it deserves my attention. I […]
