The Harvest Ministers

**The Harvest Ministers** are a Dublin-based indie folk duo known for their poetic lyricism and melancholic charm. Formed in the mid-1990s by songwriter Paul Doherty and multi-instrumentalist Ronan O’Snodaigh (also of Kíla), they’ve carved out a niche with their lush, acoustic-driven sound that blends Irish folk traditions with literary storytelling. Over the years, they’ve released quietly adored albums like *Little Dark Mansion* and *Back to Harbour*, weaving themes of love, loss, and coastal landscapes into their work. Their live shows, often intimate and peppered with wry humor, have made them cult favorites in Ireland’s indie scene. Recent tracks like the haunting *Strange Love Letter* and the wistful *You Can See Everything From Here* showcase their knack for crafting songs that feel like whispered secrets—equal parts tender and timeless.
