Brian O’Brien

Ireland

Brian O’Brien is a singer-songwriter from Limerick, Ireland, whose music carries the weight of a life lived across continents. After years spent in Canada, Brian returns home with a voice that echoes the rugged landscapes and raw emotion of both his Irish roots and his journey through North America. His songs are a powerful blend of folk and storytelling, drawing from the traditions that shaped him and the experiences that defined him.

Brian’s debut album, My Father’s Throne, marked the arrival of an artist unafraid to explore the deepest corners of the human heart. It’s a record built on honesty and vulnerability, resonating with listeners across Europe and America. With every song, Brian invites listeners into his world, offering a glimpse into the beauty and pain that fuel his artistry.

Now, back in Limerick, Brian is hard at work on new music. His upcoming single, “Autumn” (out October 10th), reflects on the unexpected beauty of falling in love during the bleak autumn months, capturing both the joy and uncertainty of new romance against the backdrop of Ireland’s melancholic fall. In addition to the new release, Brian will be supporting Hermitage Green on their upcoming tour from October through December.
