HE PLAYS "soulful pop with a dusting of hip-hop thrown in for good measure," say Gigwise, while that pop has "a real sense of edge" according to Clashmusic.com He is Sample Answer, and he is coming to Galway.
Sample Answer - aka, Dublin born, London based singer-songwriter Maurice O’Connor - embarks on a national tour this week, and plays the Róisín Dubh on Sunday November 20 at 8pm.
Mixing drums, bass, synths and acoustic guitar with his loop pedal, along with diverse influences ranging from The Beatles and Bob Dylan to Jay-Z and Tyler The Creator, the 22-year-old melds hip-hop, indie, classic pop songwriting, and authentic urban storytelling with unique flair. Having released two EPs in 2015, and the singles ‘Good Boy’ and ‘Textile Baby’, Sample Answer has received support from BBC’s Annie Mac and Zane Lowe, while his two sets at Electric Picnic have been highly praised.
Support is from Galway indie singer-songwriter New Pope. Tickets are available at www.roisindubh.net, the Ticket Desk at OMG@Zhivago, Shop Street, and The Róisín Dubh.
