Colin O’Shea and band play The Workman’s (The Vintage Room) on July 12th. Classically trained pianist and guitarist Colin O’Shea launched his debut single ‘Booze n’ Hangovers’ back in 2017, which was then followed by his critically acclaimed debut album ‘Scars and Tones’. The Ballyfermot Rock School graduate received high praise and flattering comparisons to Tom Waits, Bruce Springsteen, Nick Cave, Bob Dylan and U2. O’Shea went on to make his festival debut during summer 2018 opening the famed Castlepalooza boutique Irish festival.

His first new single of 2022 was ‘Hollywood On Fire’, an 80’s feel electro pop tune, that received “Track of the Day” from the prestigious Hot Press Magazine. Following a number of new single releases, he launches is brand new album titled Bright Yellow Shiny Gold.

This outstanding debut perfectly showcases the promise of the massively diverse singer songwriter.”

“an eclectic and mercurial talent capable of working within a number of styles and genres…..He’s at his best when constructing tension-filled romantic ballads such as, ‘The Stars’, a real highlight, and the string-drenched ‘My Angel’. The title track is almost Dylanesque, with a backbeat recalling U2’s ‘With Or Without You’.
