Turnpikes

Turnpikes is an Irish rock band based in Wicklow. Formerly the solo project of singer, songwriter and producer Noah Sheehan, the band’s 5th single Sarah saw the first appearance of any other Turnpikes members on a recording, with Aaron MacDermott playing lead guitar and bass on the track.

The members of Turnpikes all take on other musical roles outside of the band, with Noah serving as co-producer on UK artist IZZY’s award winning EP Reclamation and Covet, Aaron being an active member of the Irish trad scene and drummer Eibhlinn Lawlor being a member of the bands Juniper Hallow and Absenth.

Turnpikes combines air-punching anthemic choruses with a pop sheen and a personal edge. Inspired by everybody from the delicate singer-songwriter intimacy of Elliott Smith and Phoebe Bridgers, to the huge, shout-along rock of Bruce Springsteen and Bleachers – Turnpikes captures the intense anxiety of growing up and sets it free to be celebrated.

Turnpikes have released 5 independent singles; New Tricks / Tiny Changes, Risk I’m Willing to Take, Walk, I Think You Know and Sarah.

2025 will see Turnpikes finally take the stage and prove themselves as a formidable live act as well as studio outfit.
