The Rebel Hearts

The Rebel Hearts are a folk band from Tipperary, Ireland, celebrating their 25th anniversary in 2024. Formed in 1999, the band was initially driven by a vision to create a "rebel" sound in Tipperary, which lacked such bands at the time. Over the years, they have developed a strong following and have toured extensively, including performances in Australia and various locations across Ireland and the UK. Their music is influenced by Irish folk legends like Shane MacGowan and The Pogues, and they are known for their energetic live performances. The band has released several albums and singles, including "Our Fight For Freedom," which gained traction early in their career.

The Rebel Hearts have maintained a strong connection with their roots while evolving over time. They have been part of a resurgence in Irish folk music, appealing to both old and new fans. Their recent releases and performances continue to showcase their dedication to their craft and their ability to engage audiences with their music. Despite being a semi-professional band, with members holding other jobs, they have managed to build a loyal fan base who appreciate their passion and authenticity.
