Growing up in a coastal town, the presence of the sea is ever felt and for Cobh-born

singer-songwriter Rua Rí, aka Seán Damery, it is no different. It is rare that the sea does not

bleed into the soft and serene folk music he has become known for, his work echoing

tradition while forging a path that feels wholly his own. He has been featured alongside many

other emerging Irish and folk talent having supported Amble, Joshua Burnside, Kean

Kavanagh and Sam Amidon to name a few and is quickly carving out his place in Ireland’s

vibrant contemporary folk scene
