Hailing from the heart of County Kerry, Bryan Murphy is an emerging Irish artist blending traditional roots with a modern, crossover sound. Instantly recognisable for his distinctive voice and his rare dual mastery of button accordion and guitar, Murphy has built a reputation as a compelling live performer with a natural connection to his audience.
In 2025, Murphy reached a new milestone with a sold-out Irish tour, ‘Songs I Want to Sing’, followed by international performances including a Caribbean cruise and a US tour that introduced his music to new audiences and expanded his fanbase significant.
His new single, ‘Sunset‘, set for release on May 1st, is a warm, nostalgic track that captures the feeling of a fleeting summer romance and the emotional glow of nights that feel like they might last forever.
Built around golden-hour imagery and an easy sense of movement, the song reflects carefree days, late nights, and the energy of being fully present in moments that are already slipping into memory. There’s a subtle dance influence running through it, paired with a laid-back, Mediterranean-tinged warmth that gives the track a bright, seasonal lift.
At its core, ‘Sunset’ is about connection to people, to place, and to time itself and the way certain summers stay with us long after they’re gone.
It also marks a step forward in Murphy’s songwriting, highlighting his growing focus on original material and a sound that blends Irish roots with a wider, more contemporary palette.
