Shane Ó Fearghail - Irish Singer Songwriter [FREE ENTRY]
Event description
Shane Ó Fearghail is an Irish singer-songwriter based in Vienna, Austria (no Kangaroo’s). A storyteller at heart, and comedian at times, Shane relishes playing live. It is community... or “common unity”, as he tells it. Stories too are important, and Ireland has always been a big part Shane’s own story. When talking to him, you get the feeling that Ireland is never too far away.
No stranger to Australia, Shane is currently traveling to promote his new record ‘Lessons in Light’. Buzzing to be back in Brisbane, ‘It’s Still A Secret’ will be, he tells us, his musical highpoint down under. Why not join Shane for some songs of a Sunday. Just make sure to grab your tickets soon. Seating is limited.
Shane Ó Fearghail (pronounced O Fa-reel), is an Irish Singer-songwriter based in Austria. From Dublin, his musical style has been called Irish Indie Folk. In the past he has been likened to REM, Crowded House, Rufus Wainright III, Glen Hansard and Ron Sexsmith. He takes that as a big compliment.
“Great songwriting meets high musical sense. A fantastic artist!”
Bernd Rossmann – Reinhardt Best Acoustics — Germany.
Shane also tours with his band “The Host”, an exciting contemporary Irish-Appalachian foot stomping combo. “Dark Folk meets Celtic Soul”.
“One of those bands that grabs you from the very first minute and won't let go. I love them!” Harald Neger – Donauinselfest (Vienna).
Recorded with ‘The Host’, ‘Lessons in Light’, is Shane’s fifth studio album. Delving deeper into Irish Appalachian traditions, it takes a trip along the Appalachian trail.
