Live Artists

Aaron Rowe

Solo

I’m 26 and I’m from Dublin! I’ve playing music professionally for about 7 years.

I’m a big soul man but to be honest, I’m a bit of a jack of all trades at the same time. I can play Irish music not a bother or I can go straight down the middle with the standard pub songs. I also like to throw in a a couple of modern tunes to keep my gigs feeling fresh!

My gigs are usually high energy, everybody involved, everybody singing! However if you need a softer gig for whatever reason I can I do that in my sleep as I feel like I’m a good reader of the room.. I use a stomp box for percussion and know my way around the guitar handy enough as well. Also pride myself off of good sound quality as I feel that can make or break a gig!

I write my own music which can be found on YouTube! I’ve also played a couple of festivals at home and abroad over the years including Longitude, Barn on the Farm, 2000 Trees, Jersey live and a few more. Ive opened up for some amazing Irish acts such as Paddy Casey and Christy Dignam & Joe Jewel (Aslan).

I earned my stripes playing in every pub in temple bar and all around Dublin City, South County Dublin and all around Ireland in general. Im always busy but always looking to change it up! I’ve also done a tonne of weddings and private functions over the years.
