Folk Bands and Artists
Tupelo
Tupelo are an award-winning alt-folk act hailing from Ireland. Featuring members from different musical backgrounds and an all acoustic line-up, the band got together in 2008 and set about creating a sound which can only be described as unique, a result of the melting pot of influences brought to the table from the individual members. Over the years, Tupelo have collected an eclectic array of instruments including double bass, acoustic guitar, fiddle, mandolin, harmonic, dobro and several banjos which they incorporate into their music. A hardworking band, Tupelo enjoy the road and have played an impressive number of gigs since the band’s formation, appearing at major festivals, playing support to some of music’s biggest acts and attracting plenty of fans along the way, which they thrive off.
In May 2011 Tupelo signed to Crashed Records and released their 14 track debut album ‘Dirty Money’ on September 23rd. An appearance at the All-Ireland Hurling Final at Croke Park in front of 80,000 people was the opportunity of a lifetime for Tupelo. Several tracks from the album such as ‘Don’t Let Go’, ‘Firefly’, and ‘Irishman’ were released as singles and received rave reviews as well as plenty of airplay from Irish and UK radio stations including RTE Radio 1 and BBC Radio 2. The summer of 2012 saw Tupelo embark on their first overseas tour with a string of dates in the UK and Denmark. Great news was to follow for the band in March 2013 when they were announced as the ‘Best Folk Act 2013’ by the music magazine, Hot Press. They also travelled to Russia for the first time in early 2013 as well as embarking on a wider European tour in the summer taking in countries including France, Norway, as well as a return to Denmark , the UK and Russia.
In between the touring, Tupelo managed to escape to a wonderful country manor in the beautiful surroundings of County Wicklow for a couple of weeks where they recorded a batch of new songs with the help of producer Joe Chester. A 4 track EP titled ‘Ballerina’s Call’ was released in September with the full album release titled ‘Push On’ released in February. The new album debuted at no. 7 in the Danish iTunes charts and no. 12 on the the Irish iTunes charts with the first single from the album, ‘Old Country’ receiving nationwide radio airplay including RTE Radio 1. The next single from the album ‘The Shifting Ground’ will feature the great Sharon Shannon and is set to be released on June 20th.
