Mick Flannery is an Irish singer-songwriter whose gravelly voice and heartfelt lyrics have cemented his place as one of Ireland's most compelling musicians. Born in Blarney, County Cork, Flannery's musical journey began at an early age, strongly influenced by his stonemason background and the storytelling tradition of his homeland. He emerged onto the scene with his debut album "Evening Train" in 2007, which showcased his profound storytelling skills and raw, authentic style, earning him critical acclaim and comparisons to greats like Bruce Springsteen and Tom Waits.

Over the years, Mick Flannery's nuanced songwriting and intimate performances have continued to garner a dedicated fan base. His discography is marked by a consistent evolution and depth, illustrated by albums such as "Red to Blue" and "I Own You." With his most recent releases, including singles like "Goodtime Charlie" and "Morning Rain," and the contemplative "Baby Talk (Live with the Cork Opera House Orchestra)," Flannery has proven his ability to traverse both studio and live settings with ease. His body of work, including the poignant "Mickmas EP, Vol. 3" and the emotive rendering of "Alive (Live from Cork Opera House 2019)," reflects a musician who not only has honed his craft to a fine art but remains intimately connected with his roots and the emotional landscapes he paints through his music.
