Junior Brother is 24 year-old Co. Kerry, Ireland native Ronan Kealy, who fuses elements of Irish and English folk with a deeply unique and progressive sensibility.
Born outside Killarney, Co. Kerry, Kealy developed a strong love of music from an early age, writing his first song at 9 years old after having taught himself guitar on a banged-up nylon acoustic.
With the crucial addition of foot tambourine to his musical set-up, Kealy in a live setting creates complex fingerstyle picking patterns which blend with unique tambourine rhythms and richly lyrical wordplay, creating with each performance a singular and deeply memorable live experience.
