Stephen Brennan

Stephen Brennan's music exists in the shadows between folk tradition and modern darkness, a space where grief, mortality, and the human condition are examined through the lens of timeless storytelling.

Originally from Co. Fermanagh and now based in Dublin, Brennan honed his craft over years of performing with blues/rock cover trios, playing gigs and festivals across Ireland including the renowned Rory Gallagher Festival. But it was a motorcycle trip around the world that became the catalyst for profound artistic transformation.

Emerging from that experience, Brennan made the decision to start fresh as a solo artist, dedicating himself to original songwriting rooted in folk, rock, blues, and Irish traditional music. His debut EP "The Fisherman and other Stories" arrives in mid 2026—an ode to bygone folk singers and storytellers, songs that confront life's struggles, grapple with loss, and embrace the temporary nature of existence.
