About this Event
Tracy Bruen
Galway singer-songwriter, multi instrumentalist and spellbinding vocalist, Tracy Bruen, blends and bends folk, prog and pop with classical and theatrical influences to create epic compositions of power and vulnerability which lie between the folk stylings of Joni Mitchell and art pop of Kate Bush.
Over the last ten years, Tracy has toured extensively throughout Ireland and Europe. Her debut album Mirror was released in 2017. Singles from her sophomore album, Waiting, released in January 2023, have received extensive national and regional radio play and made the RTE Radio 1 Recommends playlist. Dream Away reached number 2 on the RTE Radio charts and Silence Crawls sat just inside the Top 10.
Having supported artists such as Lisa Hannigan, We Banjo 3, Mick Flannery, The Stunning, The Sawdoctors and Mary Coughlan, and played the larger stages of many of Ireland's major festivals including Electric Picnic, Body & Soul and the Galway International Arts Festival, Tracy Bruen is continually and consistently developing her audience both at home and abroad.

Quotes on Mirror
“Spellbinding”
Connacht Tribune
"A spellbinding blend of indie, folk, prog, country, and roots topped off by her powerful, and varied, vocal abilities...her honesty and vulnerability create something quite moving"
Kernan Andrews, The Galway Advertiser
"...a lovely sliver of pop"
The Point of Everything Blog
“A voice of husky, whispery, and sky-reaching heights is unapologetically Kate Bush-like and the blend of hill-walking candle-lit voyaging and blues guitar make it both timeless and fitting with the current music trend.”
We Plug Good Music
“With a stunning vocal range and a theatrical bent, multi-instrumentalist Tracy Bruen blends indie folk with wistful blues to tug the heartstrings and inspire the mind. Let her rich and intriguing melodies take you away on a wave of sound and soul that is as original as it is lyrical.”
Electric Picnic Top Picks
“…one of the foremost voices on the Galway scene.”
