Carefully pushing the boundaries of what modern Irish folk can look and sound like, Junior Brother is an idiosyncratic, challenging and richly lyrical singer/ songwriter from Co. Kerry, Ireland. With Junior Brother’s newest single, “Take Guilt”, the fearless artistry for which he is admired reaches exciting new heights, with thrilling clarity and shattering power.

Born Ronan Kealy, Junior Brother’s debut album "Pull The Right Rope" earned a Choice Music Prize nomination for Irish Album of the Year, and similarly lauded sophomore LP "The Great Irish Famine" claimed another Album of the Year nomination at the RTÉ Folk Music Awards, along with glowing press from The Guardian, MOJO Magazine and The Irish Times to name just a few.

Building upon a debut album described as "Raw and stark - but very beautiful" (Hot Press Magazine), and the "Truly unforgettable" (MOJO Magazine) second, "The Great Irish Famine", Junior Brother has whipped up a dedicated following, thanks to unmissable live shows, and music both excitingly forward-looking and anciently evocative. Thrilling appearances in iconic venues such as The Beacon Theatre (New York), Blackpool Opera House (UK) and Vicar Street (Dublin) have left crowds spellbound, from the East Coast of the U.S. to Eastern Europe. He has played support for a variety of like-minded acts such as The Proclaimers (U.K. & IE), The Murder Capital (Europe) and Glen Hansard, the latter personally choosing Junior as the opening act for his 2019 US Tour.

Following the "wry songs of anxiety and frustration" (The Guardian) of "The Great Irish Famine", Junior is currently at work on album number three, with famed producer John "Spud" Murphy (black midi, Lankum) at the helm. Junior Brother "makes mincemeat out of every other structured singer-songwriter you can think of" (The Irish Times) - and his incredible journey has only just begun.
