Pierce Joyce

Hailing from the foot of the Blackstairs Mountains in Carlow, Ireland, Pierce Joyce delivers music that is at once introspective, wryly humorous, and quietly powerful. His songs explore vulnerability, self-doubt, and fleeting moments of joy, blending the sonic intimacy of early Leonard Cohen and Blaze Foley with themes reminiscent of fellow Irish writers W.B. Yeats and James Joyce.

Joyce honed his compositional ability at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, forging new relationships with sound, evident in The Cost of Being Silver (2023), where songs meet spoken word, field recordings, and electronic soundscapes. During his studies, he also released In Love & Isolation (2021).​​

His latest release, Sky Fills With Rain (2025), contains four new tracks recorded at home in Brighton.

Taking to the stage at venues such as The Folklore Rooms, Bath Chapel Arts Centre, The Flute & Tankard, The Moon, The Brunswick and Jamboree, Joyce's performances are engaging explorations of the human mind, with melancholy and humour delivered in unequal measure.
