Following a string of captivating music videos that have taken social media by storm, Irish singer- songwriter Gearoid McCarthy is thrilled to release the full studio version of his viral hit ‘Going Out For One’ April 26th, as he embarks on his debut tour as a solo artist. 

With a unique sound that blends traditional folk influences with contemporary indie flair, Gearoid is poised to captivate audiences across the nation & worldwide.

Only his second original single, “Going Out For One” promises an exciting evolution of his sound. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Mumford & Sons, Christy Moore and Luke Kelly, his music is infused with raw emotion, poetic lyrics, and a captivating blend of traditional and modern instrumentation. 

About writing the song Gearoid says…”One of the lads texted me one Friday evening to see if I’d go for a few pints. I had several gigs that weekend and unfortunately I couldn’t go. So as I was driving to one of them I started to think about the fact he was trying to persuade me to Just Go Out for One and no doubt then what the weekend would look like or could potentially turn into and the song just came from there! It’s a scenario we have nearly all been in and those nights that are unplanned can lead us to some great memories!”

One of his trilogy of album releases entitled “ The Songs I Grew Up With” is a No. 1 Album in the Singer / Songwriter Irish Charts as his captivating delivery and performances have fueled a surge in demand for his solo work.

“I’m incredibly grateful for the incredible response to my music videos” says Gearoid McCarthy. “The outpouring of support has been truly inspiring, and it’s further driven my passion to share my own stories and music with the world.”

Gearoid has entertained and enthralled audiences for years and now steps into the spotlight with his own captivating brand of Irish Indie folk that is traditional in ways yet undeniably fresh.

With an exhilarating magnetic energy as a live performance style and a growing fanbase, Gearoid McCarthy has already begun to make his mark on the music scene. This is more than music, it’s a homecoming….
