Known for unmissable live shows, Junior Brother brings together the strange and the familiar, the new and the ancient, the distinct and intangible.
Thoughtfully pushing the boundaries of modern Irish folk, Junior Brother is an idiosyncratic and richly lyrical singer/ songwriter from Co. Kerry.
Born Ronan Kealy, Junior Brother’s debut album "Pull The Right Rope" earned a Choice Music Prize nomination for Irish Album of the Year, and similarly lauded sophomore LP "The Great Irish Famine" claimed another Album of the Year nomination at the RTÉ Folk Music Awards, along with glowing press from The Guardian, MOJO Magazine and The Irish Times to name just a few. Junior is currently at work on album number three, with famed producer John "Spud" Murphy (black midi, Lankum) at the helm, and by all accounts, we are in for a treat.
Known for unmissable live shows, Junior Brother brings together the strange and the familiar, the new and the ancient, the distinct and intangible. With an ever-growing fanbase, and a short but too-long absence from a Belfast performance, we are delighted to welcome back Junior Brother as he plays the Black Box this March.
