Sligo singer-songwriter Stephen Gormley, known as Moon Looks On, will launch his new album Way Out West at Monroe’s Live on Friday, May 10, at 7:30pm.
Recorded by acclaimed producer Bill Shanley, the album brims with contemporary folk and roots music, interwoven by lyrics laid over a finger-picking melodic style.
Written in a converted barn in south Sligo, Moon Looks On is continually inspired by his natural surroundings and the appeal of the sea.
With influences ranging from old school jazz to the Rolling Stones, Tracy Chapman and Sharon Shannon, this eagerly awaited new album, Way Out West comes on the heels of the acclaimed Razor Wire Skies.
Following appearances at Glastonbury, Electric Picnic, All Together Now, 2000 Trees Festival, and The Ruby Sessions, his characteristic blend of roots and folk music is gaining traction. Moon Looks On has performed on RTÉ’s Other Voices and has garnered significant radio and streaming play.
, this is a unique chance to catch the launch of Way Out West at Monroe’s Live on Friday, May 10th at 7:30pm.
Tickets cost €15 from www.monroes.ie and support is by Derek Ellard, who describes his music as “folk rock with alternative frills.”
