There's a duality to Ramper. It exists in a time that's long gone but it doesn't sound traditional. It's Melancholic but it's hopeful. Sometimes stream of conscious and sometimes labouring the detail. Recognising it's imperfection and showing them off. Pedal Steel and synth beds hold up sharp observations, widescreen guitars, and out of tune pianos in a good way.

Ramper is an alt-folk project based in Donegal and fronted by songwriter Declan Mc Clafferty. The debut album 'Loner' was accepted broadly across Ireland and the UK. Tour dates across Ireland, UK, and Australian helped develop the Ramper live show. Basically I tried all the songs and made all the mistakes and learned lessons only gigs teach.

Next up for Ramper is a run of headline shows around Ireland. Plans are already taking shape for further European touring and the clutch is being released on the recording process of a sophomore record!
