Antanna is the latest musical project from Tony Hoyne. Born in Kilkenny, and living in Dublin, Antanna has emerged on the Irish indie folk scene with his deeply personal songwriting and evocative vocal delivery. Drawing on folk sensibilities, contemporary production and raw emotional honesty, he has built a growing following for songs that speak to heartache, hope and the complexity of relationships. Antanna blends elements of folk, indie, and alternative music in rich and powerful storytelling, weaving alternative folk-tinged textures with raw lyrical honesty.
Press quote: Hotpress magazine
“.. ‘Say I’m Wrong’ blends indie, folk and alternative music styles. Acoustic guitar, piano layered over a driving bass and quick snare drums makes for a high energy yet softer sound in this exploration of unhealthy relationships” – Hotpress
