Chris McGrath

I’m an independent artist from Ireland.
I’ve currently released 4 singles, all of which will feature on my debut album coming in March 2026.

I’ve been writing songs as far back as I can remember. I’ve gigged in a few different countries and played with a lot of different musicians, I’m gigging regularly as a solo act mainly around the south of Ireland learning my trade. I play a few different instruments and I’m influenced by so many different musicians, most notably The Beatles, Oasis, Bob Dylan, Nirvana.

My songs vary, sometimes it’s to get a point across through lyrics, other times it’s to feel something with melody. All in all I gravitate towards rock music, but there’s elements of folk and pop in there too.

I’ve been working with producer Mike Roche for a number of years now in Hillview Studios and it’s been a great experience. This upcoming album is a collective effort that we’ve both learned a lot from. It all started from nothing as most things do I suppose but we’re really driven.

I’ve recently formed a band to play these tunes with live : Mike Roche on keys and backing vocals, James Comerford on lead guitar and backing vocals, Conor Mangan on bass and Ronan Hickey on drums, I’m on lead vocals and rhythm guitar. The lads are all great players in their own right and it’s a privilege to have them on board.

I’m posting on socials regularly if you want to see more!
Honestly I can’t see myself ever doing anything else, it’s music and that’s it.
