Richard Farrell – Vocals/Acoustic Guitar

Richard has been immersed in music since living memory, be it classical, folk, jazz, blues or soul music, it’s in his bones for sure. His melodies and lyrics are inspired from the Irish greats such as Van Morrison and Paul Brady alongside his heroes such Stephen Stills and Nina Simone.
He landed in Denmark in 2015 and began with playing on the streets of Copenhagen, his musical career steeply took off in 2018 after winning a Danish Music Award for Best Blues Album with his blues/soul project Trainman Blues. This was followed by another 2 DMA’s in 2021 with the same band. In 2023 he released his 2nd album under his own name, ‘Bathing In Cold Water’ which is more recently followed by a serious of live acoustic releases/videos under the name, ‘The Sunday Sessions’ in 2024.

Quotes from the Media:
Hot Press Magazine (Ireland)
“…groove, charisma and authenticity”
“…chillingly aching vocals and gorgeous songwriting skills”
Soul Bag Magazine (France)
“An atypical singer with an unstoppable technique…fiery, in complete freedom..”
Bluesnews (Denmark)
“Richard Farrell’s voice is always an experience. His vibrato-soaked voice floats and dives, explores the corners and nooks of the melodies and draws on both blues evangelists, Celtic folk and ballads and Al Green’s soulful sensibilities”
