The lone figure of Jack O’Rourke hunched over piano keys and moody synths,  is one that Irish gig goers are becoming more accustomed to seeing. Whether performing his startlingly honest ballads solo or driving Spectorish rock with his band, Jack’s plaintive baritone, ethereal falsetto and piano are core. His songs speak of the human conditional with poetic flair - ( “a nifty lyricist”, Tony Clayton Lea ), melodic flair and inventive arrangements. Flattering comparisons have been made to Bowie, Kate Bush, John Grant, Emmylou Harris and The National in his eclectic style - yet Jack has carved his own musical landscape and songwriting voice., more distinctive, with each release. 2017 has been busy as Jack continues to promote his debut album, with more singles to be released, as well as collaborations with electronic duo, FreezerRoom.  Writing has begun for his followup and he is currently touring the festival circuit with his band.

“Musical, coupled with O’Rourke’s expressive, supple voice, this makes for a highly accomplished debut”  Lauren Murphy, The Culture, The Sunday Times
