George Murphy is an Irish singer songwriter who hails from the Dublin suburb of Beaumont.
He exploded onto the Irish music scene after his memorable appearances on the RTE Television show “You’re a Star”.
In 2016 George released his 4th album Shadowman (The Stable Sessions).
This is a live in studio C.D. and D.V.D. featuring some of Ireland’s finest session musicians and interviews with George between songs.
The tracks consist of originals and old Trad which are favourites of George’s.
In 2017 George was offered to join The High Kings after Martin Fureys departure.
Putting the solo career on hold was a big call for George but seeing the opportunity of travelling the world and sharing his voice on new stages in new countries to new audiences was something George couldn’t turn down so he became a High King and received a fantastic reaction everywhere he went.
2019 saw George perform his most successful solo tour to date after setting up his own new group called The Rising Sons. The tour was a massive success and George seems to have a found his best line up right on his doorstep with family, friends and neighbours.
After a great start with this band sadly all tour dates and opportunities took a backseat because of the pandemic but that didnt stop The Sons working on their sound, material and content behind the scenes and perfecting their show for when the world opened back up again.
George will play in Áras Inis Gluaire on Friday 20th February 2026 with tickets €28 available at Áras Inis Gluaire reception and website.
