Known for his raw vocals, poetic lyrics, and deeply personal approach to songwriting, Dermot Kennedy has established himself as one of the most compelling singer-songwriters of his generation. His music combines elements of folk, pop, soul, and alternative music, creating an intimate yet powerful sound that translates beautifully to the live stage. Whether delivering a quiet, reflective moment or building toward an emotional anthem, Kennedy has a remarkable ability to make a large audience feel connected to the story behind each song.

Kennedy’s rise to international success has been extraordinary. Beginning his career by busking on the streets of Ireland, he went on to become a global touring artist with more than 4 billion streams across platforms. His debut album, Without Fear, became the best-selling debut album in Ireland of the millennium, establishing him as a major force in contemporary music. The album’s success was followed by numerous international achievements, including platinum sales in more than a dozen countries.

In 2022, Kennedy released his acclaimed sophomore album, Sonder, continuing his exploration of human connection and the emotions that bring people together. He followed it in 2024 with the introspective EP I’ve told the trees everything, a stripped-back project that offered another glimpse into his thoughtful and vulnerable songwriting style.

Throughout his career, Kennedy has shared stages with major artists including Niall Horan, Noah Kahan, and Zach Bryan. His distinctive artistry has also earned praise from global stars such as Taylor Swift and Shawn Mendes.

Joining Kennedy is Jonah Kagen, an emerging singer-songwriter whose presence adds another layer of intimate, contemporary songwriting to the evening.
