Kevin Quigley & The Great Ideas

“If Americana could be made Irish, Quigley has cracked the code.” — Hot Press

Kevin Quigley & The Great Ideas deliver a captivating fusion of Irish folk sensibilities and modern roots-rock. Balancing the poetic soul of Bob Dylan and John Prine with the sonic grit of Wilco and The Frames, the group has carved out a space where Americana soul meets authentic storytelling a sound uniquely their own.

Renowned for an infectious stage presence and magnetic chemistry, the outfit transitions seamlessly between Quigley’s intimate, acoustic performances and the high-energy, country-rock spirit of the full band. This versatility has earned them a loyal following and a string of successful headline shows at iconic venues such as Whelan’s, The Button Factory, and Coughlan’s, as well as support slots for legendary acts like Mary Black, Hermitage Green, and Ispíní na hÉireann.

Praised by Ignite Magazine for an authenticity comparable to Glen Hansard, Kevin Quigley & The Great Ideas are a "roots-rock powerhouse" from Cork, bridging the gap between traditional heart and raw, foot-stomping energy.
