about
Charlie O’ Brien’s music is a heartfelt look at the world through the Irish folk/traditional idiom that touches some unexpected ground on its way. He makes use of both English and Gaelic speaking schools of thought with a touch of the Spanish world, among others, for good measure. Hailing from Killarney in the County of Kerry, he has spent 3 of the last 7 years in Spain, which has lightly coloured his musical style. This influence is most obviously felt in the Baroque-tinged Spanish piece, "Calle de Las Ursulas," on the album Songs from an Outpost. He has worked with many musicians from varied backrounds, from young accordian player Steven Carroll of Sliabh Luachra to fiddle player Colin Farrell of Grada and Israeli piano accordian player Emmanuel Mann. His debut album, Songs from an Outpost, is an amalgam of all these varied influnces. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
