Áine Tyrrell at Palais-Hepburn

Irish singer-songwriter Áine Tyrrell is breaking down the stereotypes surrounding her music and heritage as she embarks on her ‘Irish as F*ck Not Irish Folk’ national tour, traversing three states, with 12 shows across major cities and rural centres.

Áine Tyrrell, a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, activist, and mother, is Irish and incredibly proud of her heritage, despite to continuous and ongoing connotations surrounding Irish music as Irish Folk and assumed ‘Irish’ behaviour associated with the heritage.

Hailing from a rich Irish lineage of music, Áine’s artistry cannot be confined to a single genre, as she rejects the limitations imposed by the music industry’s narrow definition of Irish Folk. Instead, she is redefining her rise through her unique genre, ‘Irish as F*ck,’ blending spoken word, hip hop, acoustic guitars, and powerful vocals.  A reflection of the brave new world we are entering, one that is post-genre, post-pandemic, post-colonial, and post-traumatic.
