Vincent O'Brien

Originally from Dublin, I am now based in Manchester. I am a singer songwriter, a solo artist playing regularly across the North West as well as around the UK and Europe.

My performances feature a rich, resonant, acoustic guitar sound complemented by harmonica, slide guitar and lap steel generating the melodic and often melancholic tones that characterise my music.

My shows feature original songs along with performances of Classic Americana, Folk and Acoustic Blues. Influences include Tom Petty, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Ry Cooder, The Band, Gillian Welch, Buffy St Marie, and Nina Simone, along with classic blues artists such as Robert Johnson, John Lee Hooker and Muddy waters.

I have released two albums of original songs; “The Man From The Moon’ July 2017 and “One Day… “ August 2017. A third album, “Speaking Out”, is due for release in December 2017.
