Declan O'Rourke is an artist known as a consummate performer who captivates audiencestime and time again the world over whether commanding the stage alone with a guitarand a microphone, accompanied by a 50 piece orchestra, or surrounded by a band.Having performed extensively in the US, Europe and Australia, O'Rourke's growing statusis one of a significant global artist.From his debut, Since Kyabram (2004), O'Rourke has been praised by songwriting giantssuch as John Prine ("a great songwriter") and Paul Weller ("he writes the sort of classicsongs that people don't write anymore"). His work, meanwhile, has been covered byworld-class artists such as Christy Moore, Camille O'Sullivan, Eddi Reader, and JoshGroban.O'Rourke has released seven acclaimed albums, an expressive body of work ("proferringreassurance in the face of inevitable sorrow" - New York Times' music writer, JonPareles) that catches the light in many ways. His latest (seventh) album, Arrivals, (April2021) is assuredly his most distinctive yet. Emerging at a time when the world is in aphase of serious flux, Arrivals is more present than past, however, and is also his mosthumanitarian.Produced by Paul Weller, Arrivals features emotionally potent songs that summon theatmosphere of some of the great folk records that influenced the developing artist andmusician as a younger, aspiring writer. - Tony Clayton Lea, Irish Times."In a world clad with shortening attention-spans and a seemingly never-endingonslaught of over-stimulation, Declan O'Rourke and his intimate, contemplativemusic brilliantly stands out." - American Songwriter "O'Rourke is a masterful lyricist and staggering guitarist" - Mojo "It is a gem. Fabulous guitar and singing. Just love this Arrivals album'- Pete Townshend"If he's been a best-kept secret up to now, Arrivals should finally blow his cover"- UncutIn Painters LightThe HarbourThe Stars Over KinvaraOlympianArrivalsAndy Sells CokeHave You Not Heard The War Is Over?Convict WaysZeus and ApolloThis Thing That We ShareIn Painters Light (Live from Abbey Theatre, Dublin)The Harbour (Live from Abbey Theatre, Dublin)Have You Not Heard The War is Over?
