Supported by The Arts Council of Ireland and The National Concert Hall, Garageland is delighted to announce a brand new kind of event.
Supporting young artists who have previously performed on Garageland Youth Music shows such as Garageland Galaxyz, Garageland Teen Spirit, and the many other youth music events we produce with our partners, Garageland Graduates is a unique event, focussed on arming these new recruits with the tools they will need as they head into the world of Over 18’s shows as young independent artists.
Five artists will take part in a variety of workshops during the daytime, and then the public is invited to come and join us for a very special evening as these artists perform their own original music in the beautiful and supportive setting of The National Concert Hall Studio Room.
Featuring The Ephades - Dopamine - Eabha O’Keeffe & Summer O’Callaghan – The Tanseys – Karibu Sana
The Ephades are an upcoming Donegal-based indie-rock band known for their sharp songwriting and dynamic, guitar-driven sound. Made up of Cahir Doyle (drums), Grace Murphy (vocals & guitar), Grace Nugent (bass) and Kyle Warner (lead guitar), the band blend reflective lyricism with high-energy live performances, quickly earning them a loyal following.
Their rise has included standout shows across Ireland, and they will be bringing their music to audiences in Germany soon, as well as continuing to build their reputation following recognition as one of Highland Radio’s four ‘Local Hero’ finalists in the national A New Local Hero music initiative. Their upcoming single, “Rather Be With You,” will be released in March, showcasing their bold, melodic indie sound paired with emotional honesty and confident, vibrant instrumentation. As Hot Press noted, “a surefire, certified banger that is set to cement The Ephades as one of Ireland’s most exciting young rock bands.”
Artists who've started on Garageland events include Florence Road, Inhaler, The Script and many more..
