Busy busy busy….

It’s been a busy couple of weeks!  

The launch gig happened on the 30th October in the Chocolate Factory!   It went better than I could have expected! There was a huge crowd there, and I was blown away by the support on the night!  The amazing Dermot Kennedy opened the night, before I decided to start the gig the way I normally would, singing with my friend Mark Geary.  We did a few songs, before I did a few solo numbers.   I was then joined by the beautiful Nicole Maguire for a couple of songs, and then James Cramer of Tupelo joined us.  I finished off the night with a full band set – joined on stage by the inimitable Graham Hopkins, superb Lorcan O’Dwyer and incredible Steven McCann.  Simon Peare took some lovely shots the night of the launch gig.

I’ve since played in The Loft In Carlingford,Phoenix FM, Peter McVerry Trust Youth Cafe, a Private House Concert and The Ballymore Acoustic Gigs!  

Stay tuned for more! 🙂 gx

Biography

Gráinne Hunt is a contemporary folk singer and songwriter, raised in Monaghan and based in Kildare, Ireland. With consistently on-point, captivating vocals and well-honed, insightful songs, Grainne has shared stages with Glen Hansard and U2, has opened for Gladys Knight, Eagle Eye Cherry and the Bay City Rollers, and has been compared to vocal icons Tracy Chapman and Nathalie Merchant.

Her ‘gorgeous new album’ (Mathieu Norry RTE Radio 1), This Secret, was released in September 2019. ‘[A] seamlessly gentle fusion of Irish folk and Nashville backing, together with Gráinne’s gorgeous, slightly throaty vocal delivery’ (FolkRadio.co.uk), it was recorded with Thomm Jutz (Nanci Griffith, Maura O’Connell) and features the skills of Mark Fain (Ry Cooder) on bass and Lynn Williams (John Hiatt) on drums.  

2019 also saw the release of an Irish folk album, Songs from Ireland, recorded with award winning guitarist Brendan Walsh. Recorded last year in Soundville Studios Luzern, it includes songs Buachaill on Eirne and Raglan Road. 

Despite 2020 cancellations, over the various lockdown periods Gráinne performed for the #IrelandPerforms initiative, joined Axis Ballymun for Cruinniú na nÓg & #SummerSessions, founded songwritercircle.club, created the first #AdventCalendarofSong (solo recordings of 24 Christmas songs released on social media every day in December) which included a collaboration with German choir Cantus Domus on a beautiful version of The Wexford Carol, and joined U2, Glen Hansard, and others for The Late Late Show Charity Busk.
