The Awning

Folk // Ennis, Clare

One wet evening in Ennis County Clare, failed athlete Darragh Purcell and washed up actor Evan Flaherty decided not to play video games.

Thus, The Awning was born. 


The Awning are musical storytellers blending ethereal folk with lush production and otherworldly harmonies. Drawing from influences like Sufjan Stevens, Fleet Foxes, Nick Drake, and Animal Collective, they create deeply personal songs about love, loss, and grief. Their sound shifts from intimate guitar-driven ballads to dynamic soundscapes filled with harmonies and electronic elements, embracing both narrative folk traditions and genre experimentation.
