Sean Tyrrell

Hailed in Billboard as 'the genuine article,' in Irish Music Magazine as 'one of the country's major folk voices' and by Oscar-winning actress Brenda Fricker, 'If you're lucky you come across a voice like Sean's once in a lifetime. When he sings I feel alive,' Sean Tyrrell is the award-winning Irish singer, tenor guitarist, mandocello player and of other string instruments whose numerous accolades being named by irish Music Magazine as 'Best Overall Folk Act' and whose recordings have earned 'Album of the Year' selections from the likes of Folk Roots, Hot Press and Irish Music Magazine. Tyrrell's trademark is to take poems, mostly by Irish writers, and set them to his original music where they fit seemlessly with his traditional repretoire and other songs that capture his fancy, all of which Sean makes totally his own. Sean's latest CD, Walker in the Snow' led the Irish Times to rave, 'Here be folk music as it was meant to be: pugilistic at times, all embracing at others. Tyrrell's appetite for telling it like it is is as unquenchable as ever' and Froots to enthuse, 'Tyrrell has fostered a reputation as a lover of language, of poetry, of words strung together in webs that capture moments and places. This reputation was confirmed by his first album and is further strengthened by his latest CD.' For more, visit www.seantyrrell.com.
