His theatrical narratives and folk/roots sound are underscored by his projection of a rawness of experience through his ethereal piano playing and a powerful, haunting vocal ability. <br /><br />In the three and a half years since his first album release, Elder has been invited to perform and tour with many of Ireland’s greatest musicians including Kila’s Rónán Ó Snodaigh, Mary Coughlan, Paddy Casey, Mundy and Damian Dempsey, and has also mesmerised audiences at intimate solo gigs around the country. <br /><br />Here's What the Press Said:<br /><br />Nobody Knows (2009), his first album, received audience and critical acclaim. What the press said <br />"Lazy comparisons with Tom Waits do him nothing more than a disservice. Elder Roche’s voice and wit hint at a creative spirit all his own" - 4 STARS The Irish Times<br /><br />“Manly vocals and powerful storytelling songs bring to mind the genius of Leonard Cohen” - News of the World<br /><br />“There is something very spiritual about Elder Roche’s songs” - Dan Hegarty, RTÉ 2FM<br /><br />“Truly talented and truly stunning” - Phantom FM <br /><br />http://www.elderroche.com/<br /><br />CREDITS / SPONSORS <br />GrandHôtelPictures (http://www.grandhotelpictures.com) <br />Comebackpackers Hostel (http://www.comebackpackers.com) <br />The Kraken Black Spiced Rum (http://www.krakenrum.com/)<br /><br />Tune in again to BalconyTV //
