Darren Flynn and band Live @ Sin É

Darren Flynn is a singer-songwriter from Dublin crafting his own blend of Americana-infused folk country pop. He received a nomination for the Choice Music Award as part of his previous band, Mongrel State, and has emerged as a solo artist delivering his own distinctive entertaining style of music, at once both retro and modernist.

On Friday 3rd July he will be performing with his backing band of Stefano Vita on bass and Mark Finlay on drums.

His music has been described as "compelling" (Irish Times) and with "a great bustling, rousing energy" (Irish Mirror). Hot Press described his new single I ain't gonna worry about it as “a brand new feel-good classic for fans of folk and country”.

Flynn’s unique musical authenticity and his joyful and uplifting approach to his music and performances have gained him much attention. “Addictive music and performance with a new twist.” - Moya Brennan, Clannad.

Flynn cites his musical influences as Van Morrison, Bruce Springsteen & Johnny Cash. His music has often been likened to Nathaniel Rateliff, Pokey LaFarge, Langhorne Slim, JD McPherson.

Flynn has performed extensively both in Ireland and internationally. His many domestic festival appearances include The Electric Picnic, Kilkenny Roots Festival, Vantastival, and Sligo Live. His European shows include Noget Bedre (Denmark), Feito a Man Festival, Santiago De Compostela (Spain).

Flynn’s live performances are well known for his uplifting infectious energy and down to earth artistry. He’s been described as "Mighty fine ...perfect for a hooch special" - Brian Lally, RTE Radio, and has been described as “reckless brilliance...” - Stephen White, The Last Mixed Tape.
