Folkster Music Management proudly presents Kevin Quigley & The Great Ideas live at The Button Factory’s Curveball Stage, Dublin, Sunday 21st December.
When they take the stage, six musicians lock into perfect rhythm, weaving violin, guitars, harmonies, and infectious grooves into a sound that’s both timeless and explosive. Their songs carry the storytelling spirit of folk and the fire of rock and Americana, leaving audiences breathless.
Drawing inspiration from Bob Dylan, Glen Hansard, Wilco, Tom Petty, and R.E.M., Kevin has carved out a sound all his own. As Hot Press put it: “If Americana could be made Irish, Kevin Quigley has cracked the code.”
