Grainne Hunt has a rich background in performance and song writing. She is an experienced and versatile professional musician with a demonstrated history of working in the Arts. She has a music degree and some formal training in guitar and vocals.
 

With captivating vocals &insightful songs, she has toured extensively and performed on stage in Ireland,
UK, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Czech, Austria, Slovenia and the US.
She has shared stages with Glen Hansard, opened for Gladys Knight and Eagle Eye Cherry, Declan O’Rourke, the Bay City Rollers and Kane Brown. Her influences range from The Dubliners to Joni Mitchell, and from Mary Black to John Mayer.


Her ‘gorgeous new album’ (RTE Radio 1), This Secret, was released in September 2019. ‘[A] seamlessly
gentle fusion of Irish folk & Nashville backing, together with Gráinne’s gorgeous, slightly throaty vocal
delivery’ (FolkRadio.co.uk), it was recorded with Grammy nominated Thomm Jutz (Nanci Griffith) &
features the skills of Mark Fain (Ry Cooder) on bass & Lynn Williams (John Hiatt) on drums.


Alongside her solo project, Grainne is involved in Songs from Ireland – Irish traditional/classical project with award winning guitarist Brendan Walsh.


Album released April 2019.
Hibsen – a recent collaboration with Jim Murphy. Together they have written 15 songs to reflect James Joyce’s Dubliners. Thanks to Arts Council funding, this album of songs has been recorded and will be released in early 2023
SongwriterCircle.club – in 2020 Gráinne founded an online songwriting group to support other
musicians in their songwriting.


Following Covid lockdowns and cancellations, Gráinne took the time to focus on creating and collaborating.
She performed for IrelandPerforms, founded songwritercircle.club, created the first AdventCalendarOfSong (recordings of 24 Christmas songs released on social media in Dec’20) and joined
U2, Glen Hansard, & others for The Late Late Show Charity Busk raising €1.5m for the Simon Community.

 

2021 saw over 35 songs written, a focus vocal, guitar and home-recording skills, the launch of her 1981series, and some shows, live and streamed. Gráinne saw out 2021 with a full band live recording in Iontas Theatre, she has just completed the Kildare Creatives Development Programme with the Local Enterprise Office Kildare and is joining the cast of new folk musical In the Midst of Plenty this summer.


Gráinne Hunt is currently compiling songs for her next record, that will be recorded later this year.

Support act:
JP&Betty!

Laying waste to doldrum and drudgery, the agile and charismatic two-piece solo act jp&betty have risen from the abyss once again!

JP, or Joshua Pallett, is a singer-songwriter from Aylesbury, his guitar is Betty.

Prepare your ear-tongues for some freshly-squeezed tales of heartbreak, pharmaceutical side-effects and horrible bosses, shaken up with an acoustic funk-ska-punk flavour straight outta 2003 – and still not suitable for your nan.

Listen him on SoundCloud.
