Award-nominated Irish singer-songwriter Darren A. Flynn (formerly singer with multi-national Americana band Mongrel State) has released his debut solo single ‘Mountain Whiskey‘
The track, which was produced by renowned Irish producer Rob MacLeod & mastered at Abbey Road Studios, is an energetic tune about a wily old man who makes moonshine half-way up a mountain, and is based on a real life character from Darren’s past. Featuring a heady mix of banjo, drums and electric guitar, it’s a rocking hoe-down right from the beginning!
The track has been getting plenty of airplay national Irish radio (RTE 1 & Raidio na Gaeltachta) and has been playlisted on several local stations.
Darren’s sound has been described as a modern take on roots-tinged rock n’ roll with Americana and Bluegrass elements & influences such as Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan and even the likes of Sturgill Simpson on occasion.
His most recent album, with Mongrel State, produced by Gavin Glass (Billy Bragg, Joe Jackson, John Grant, Paul Brady) had its lead single playlisted on RTE1. The album was nominated for the Choice Music Award (Irish equivalent of the Mercury music award).
He has performed live & recorded sessions for National Irish TV & Radio and appeared on most local radio stations across the country, and at several Irish festivals such as The Electric Picnic, Kilkenny Roots Festival, Vantastival, Sligo Live & Doolin Folk Festival, as well as internationally.
