EOIN DOLAN
https://www.facebook.com/eoindolanmusic
Eoin Dolan is a singer-songwriter and producer from Galway. He released his well received debut EP ‘Placid Ocean’ in September 2014 and has since played a string of high profile gigs including the Breaking Tunes Music Trail, the Hard Working Class Heroes Festival and the MTV Crashes Cork Music Trail.
His music blends the sound of an endless summer with an easy going nostalgia to create a repertoire of surf/folk/pop songs that echo Brian Wilson, Syd Barrett and John Lennon. His song writing is steeped in the imagery and atmosphere of a vintage seaside town and his heart breaking melodies, reverb drenched vocals and gentle instrumentation call to mind some of the sadness and beauty of 1960s surf pop.
“Seaside sombreness and Beach Boys-esque melodies” (Nialler9)
“showcasing a highly personal, unorthodox, take on surf pop” (Kernan Andrews, Galway Advertiser)
“A Slowburning Delight” (Hotpress)
“Full of twinkly pop gems” (The Irish Mirror)
