Avenue 68

Your granny’s secret sauce, Avenue 68, has quickly become a standout act in Ireland’s music scene. Through silky vocals and intricate guitar lines, this infectiously groovy 5-piece crafts a soundscape full of soul and energy.
​
The band has had an incredible run since their debut just over a year ago, grabbing the attention of the likes of Hot Press Magazine and RTÉ 2FM, while earning spots on several Spotify playlists. They have landed major festival bookings too - including Aiken’s Forbidden Fruit and All Together Now festivals, performing on Guinness’ Lovely Days stage, and not one but two sets at Electric Picnic.
​
After standout performances at the Cork Jazz Festival and opening for Joy Crookes on the first night of her tour in the Olympia theatre, Avenue 68 are firmly establishing themselves as a band to watch. Blending R&B, jazz, and funk, they’re quickly building serious momentum - recently selling out their headline show at Whelan’s on 19 February.
​
With a busy summer ahead, headlining the main stage at Forbidden Fruit, a spot on the SXSW London shortlist, and several other festival slots, you’ll want to keep Avenue 68 on your radar.
