“One of the island’s all-time songwriting greats" (The Thin Air), Ireland's Junior Brother is an idiosyncratic, challenging, and richly lyrical singer/songwriter from Co. Kerry.
Born Ronan Kealy, Junior Brother has gained and continues to amass a rabid following both at home and abroad, thanks to thrilling, unmissable live shows, and a sound which takes traditional Irish instrumentation and makes it “sound like birdsong or Armageddon, sometimes within the bounds of a single song.” (KLOF).
With a powerfully distinctive voice that is “sometimes a cracked soul, sometimes a deranged howl, sometimes a bedazzling babble” (The Quietus), Junior Brother stands as “one of Ireland’s most compelling voices” (The Irish Times).
His much-anticipated third album, The End, was released on September 5th to overwhelming critical acclaim, reaching high spots on many 2025 year-end lists, including number 7 on Time Out’s Best Albums of 2025.
