Stu Tyrrell Biography
Award winning guitarist Stu Tyrrell plays Acoustic Metal, Celtic Roots and original Australian Folk. Breathing new life into traditional English and Celtic Folk songs, Stu re-imagines them into stomping, roots infused arrangements interwoven with acoustic heavy metal to deliver something completely original.
A veteran of the stage, notably as touring bassist for ex Iron Maiden front men Paul Dianno and Blaze Bayley on their Australian tours, Stu currently performs solo at folk clubs and festivals in his signature stripped-down style.
Stu has played the Australian Celtic Festival, Beechworth Celtic Festival, Granny Smith Festival, and Northern Beaches Music Festival. He also won the 2016 Gulgong Folk Festival Guitar Competition.
Stu was a finalist for the Australian Celtic Music Awards 2018 Male Artist of the Year and Best New Talent. Stu performed on the 2018 Australian Celtic Festival “Ruby” stage having placed runner up in the street parade busking competition.
Stu’s EP Celtic Roots features Steph Miller (ex. Roaring Jack) on accordion, Mark Oats (The Bushwhackers) on fiddle, and jazz legend Gordon Rytmeister on drums. Irish Joe Lynch introduces the EP, narrating an excerpt from Robbie Burns.
Stu’s EP Celtic Roots is out now and available to buy or download via https://stutyrrell.bandcamp.com/
