TAYLORS LANE

Taylors Lane is an indie –acoustic duo comprised of brother and sister Jackie and Shane Hennessy. For the past year Taylors Lane have been performing their songs on guitar and ukulele in various venues, all the way from The Three Birds Tavern in Florida USA, to The Twisted Pepper in their home town of Dublin City. Jackie and Shane write their own music, but also enjoy playing acoustic versions of songs by bands of all genres ranging from blues to folk to just about anything really. Since he could talk Shane has been singing and playing the guitar following in his father’s footsteps, and Jackie is no different. The brother and sister started by singing songs around the kitchen table and as their harmonies and guitar playing progressed the two found themselves venturing into different local bars and are now playing many professional gigs each month. Taylors Lane have been heavily involved in the singer- songwriter scene and can be found at just about any open mic night all around Dublin. You can find more information about their upcoming gigs and music on their Facebook or on Youtube by searching for Taylors Lane. ____________

REDWOODS

Redwoods are a four-piece band from Greystones, Ireland. These young lads with their blend of melodic edgy pop, usually reserved for bands well beyond their years, have gained the attention of many movers in the music industry over the past two years. 2012 saw them release their debut, self recorded and released EP, ‘Nowhere To Hide’ which received national airplay, including getting a place on the RTE 2FM Playlist. Redwoods are Elliot Crampton (Lead Vocals, Guitar), Killian Dunne (Lead Guitar, Vocals), Paul Sheehy (Bass, Vocals) and Tristan Gresty (Drums). Formed in 2010, the band took off to a great start, racking up over 10,000 plays on their then Myspace and playing sold out shows to crowds of over 500 in their hometown as well as playing gigs in venues around Dublin such as Whelans, Sweeneys, Crawdaddy and The Academy 2. When they get a chance, they like to go busking and surfing in Dingle, Co. Kerry where they are known to some as the ‘Dingle Buskers’. The band are currently working on follow-up singles to ‘Nowhere To Hide’ to be released early 2013, which promises to be a great year for the band… Watch this space.
