Junior Brother
Junior Brother is heading back out on tour which will see him return to The Hug and Pint on February 2nd as part of Celtic Connections 2024!
About Junior Brother
Following both a global pandemic and an acclaimed, landmark debut album, inimitable Irish Alt-Folk act Junior Brother returns with his new album The Great Irish Famine, and a new single titled “No Snitch”. The album comes on the heels of his lauded 2019 album Pull The Right Rope and is out 2nd September via multidisciplinary Irish label Strange Brew.
An idiosyncratic, challenging and richly lyrical singer/ songwriter, Junior Brother is the pseudonym of Co. Kerry, Ireland singer Ronan Kealy. Chosen as The Irish Times’ Best Irish Act of 2019 and nominated for the 2019 Choice Music Prize for Album of the Year, Junior Brother has built a rabid following thanks to unmissable live shows, and music both excitingly forward-looking and anciently evocative. His strange stories unfold with reckless abandon upon a distinctive guitar and foot tambourine accompaniment, influenced as much by the avant-garde as music from the Middle Ages and his home place in rural Ireland.
