Once-in-a-generation teenage folk guitarist and singer Muireann Bradley shares her new EP ‘Rose Dogs’, out now via Universal’s newly relaunched Fontana label in partnership with Verve Forecast. The release features Muireann’s first-ever original song, ‘No Name Blues’, alongside singles, ‘These Days’ and ‘Clay Pigeons’. Inspired by traditional 'murder ballads' and songs of scorned women from artists like Memphis Minnie and Bessie Smith, 'No Name Blues' is a modern take on these iconic tracks, which, instead of their demise, sees the female protagonist exacting their revenge and coming out on top.
Bringing the storytelling spirit of folk and blues to a new generation, Muireann has quickly built a dedicated following for her distinctive playing style and emotionally rich interpretations of classic songs, a depth that far exceeds her years. She recently performed Bob Dylan’s ‘Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright’ for Mahogany Sessions.
From recording in her bedroom to performing on Jools Holland’s Hootenanny The Late Late Show, Muireann’s rise has been nothing short of remarkable. Her debut album ‘I Kept These Old Blues’ has already achieved cult status among collectors, with the first pressing selling out entirely; an extraordinary feat considering she recorded it at just 15 years old. Now poised for global recognition, Muireann Bradley continues to prove herself as one of Ireland’s brightest young talents.
