We are delighted to announce that Ryan McMullan will join us in Dolans Warehouse on Thursday, May 7th.
Ryan McMullan’s talent is a rare jewel in the crown of the current popular music scene. With a voice raw with storytelling and filled with rich and varied tones, Ryan’s youth clearly doesn't deter from his ability to communicate story and emotion. Home to the likes of Foy Vance and Iain Archer, Northern Ireland is and always has been a hub of song writing talent. Ryan McMullan is no exception.
Hailing from Portaferry, a small seaside town in Northern Ireland, the 25 year old is a fresh new talent on the singer/songwriter scene. With a voice reminiscent of Paolo Nutini and early Tom Waits, Ryan has been putting in the necessary graft in local pubs for a number of years.
With hugely successful recent support shows with Foy Vance and American alt-country rockers NEEDTOBREATHE, Ryan is fast gaining a reputation as an exciting talent.
His voice and potential has recently caught the attention of other singer songwriters also born out of the grass roots Northern Ireland music scene. With their backing, Ryan’s craft of songwriting being harnessed and endorsed by some of the music industries biggest names (Gary Lightbody), Ryan’s future is certainly set to be a bright one.
McMullan came into the fray with successful singles "You Don’t Dance”, “Oh Susannah” and his most popular, “Bowie on the Radio" which has reached 8 million streams. Last year he completed a five week US tour as Snow Patrol's supporting act and a number of tour dates across Ireland and the UK.
McMullan's live EP was released last year.
“One of the most exciting artists to come out of Northern Ireland, voice of an angel” – Gary Lightbody
