Caoi de Barra, an up-and-coming Irish singer/songwriter based in Berlin, has been making waves in the music industry after leaving her mark as a member of the acclaimed alternative-pop trio Wyvern Lingo.
With an artistic style influenced by the likes of Jeff Buckley and Joni Mitchell, de Barra released her highly anticipated debut EP ‘Thicket’ in August 2022. With her unparalleled talent and unique style, de Barra is quickly becoming a notable presence in the music world.
De Barra’s brand new single ‘Treehouse’ is out now (Thurs 29th June 2023) – a captivating disillusioned-summer-bop, where the Irish housing crisis leaves de Barra feeling trapped in a perpetual state of adolescence, and the concept of being a self-sufficient artist seems as lofty as building a dwelling up a tree – “It’s really letting my petulant inner child do the problem solving”, de Barra says.
In a display of her passion for music and love for adventure, de Barra is currently on tour as drummer for Grammy-nominated singer songwriter Allison Russell, (which included an appearance at Glastonbury last weekend), and soon will embark on her own solo tour of Ireland July + August, traveling from town to town on a trusty 125cc scooter.
Speaking about the tour, Caoi says “Exploring the backroads, towns and villages of Ireland on my 125 cc scooter feels extremely peaceful and enriching to me. Less practical than a car, but low on fuel usage, and almost as romantic as travelling on horseback. On top of that I have the privilege of performing my songs for people in the places I go to, immediately immersed in the local arts scene. The scooter tour for me is the perfect solo quest.”
‘Treehouse” is available on all major streaming platforms now.
