3 Comments

Singer-songwriter Pauric O’ Meara has released his new single,’ Come Home’. Pauric O’ Meara is an independent Alternative/indie singer-songwriter from Co. Tipperary, based in Dublin. He has become known for his raw luring vocal. Over the last few years, with his biggest coming in 2022, O’ Meara has seen his headline shows sell out all over Ireland, including venues such as The Workmans Club, The Grand Social, Monroes, Dolans and Cyprus Avenue, as well as supporting major acts such as Hermitage Green and Hudson Taylor, and stand out performances at festivals such as Electric Picnic, Sounds of Summer and Kaleidoscope. 

‘Come Home’ is a passionate and emotive indie banger that boasts O’Meara’s magnetic and compelling musicianship. The song exudes a sweat earworm melody while swagger-drenched guitars, punchy drums and elastic bass create a foot-tapping foundation. Within the soundscape, warm brass elements and twinkling keys provide an ethereal breath of fresh air that adds an undertone of hope throughout the track. O’Meara is developing his sound beautifully and ‘Come Home’ is a fine example of this. The song is an irresistible musical delight. 

About the track O’ Meara said : ”This song came from a place of vulnerability and desperation. A long time friendship ending for reasons beyond my control or capability.  Living with addiction is difficult for all involved. We often see the negative impact that it has on people as they invest all their time and effort into helping, but unless the person in question wants to help themselves, the rest becomes obsolete. The love I had and still have for my friend will always be the same, and after years of trying to help, all thats left to do now is hope that they will find solace and ‘Come Home’, come back to the people who love them and live the life they deserve to live”

Pauric O’ Meara Live At The Workman’s Club Dublin With Support From Sophie Doyle Ryder

Against the odds, and with a quick venue change to The Workman’s Club Dublin Pauric O’ Meara rose to the occasion to ensure his headline show last night would go ahead. The venue erupted with energy as the artists performing and the audience were determined their party spirit wouldn’t be dampened as the crowd danced at their seats, sang loudly and cheered for O’ Meara and his band.

Sophie Doyle Ryder warmed up the crowd with her infectious brand of R&B/Pop. With just gentle acoustic guitar accompaniment by Stephen Carolan her powerful soul-filled vocals reverbed throughout the venue, and charmed the crowd instantly – songs about “clingy boys” (The Boys) and a mesmerising cover of Lianne La Havas’ ‘What You Don’t Do’, had the crowd cheering and bopping in no time.

Within the live setting, the artist’s music and contemporary songwriting comes to life and is more dynamic. A fine example on the night was ‘Mood’; which had the crowd in awe of the musician’s deft lyrical depth and vocal delivery. Sophie Doyle Ryder’s irresistible earworms and impressive vocal display make her a compelling singer-songwriter and a must-see live act.

Pauric O’ Meara and his band (Ronan Quinn on Bass, Eoghan Barrett on drums and Liam Smith on guitar) swarmed the stage to a mass of cheers. O’ Meara began with a strikingly beautiful vocal delivery with just soft guitar to accompany him before blasting into an invigorating tune. O’ Meara’s songs are vibrant and more edgy live and his performance instantly had the crowd on their feet as the band’s rich rhythms, earworm melodies and intricate lush layers of guitar caused the crowd to become feverous with dance tendencies. It was a hearty set filled with sing-alongs, clap-alongs and fun banter.

O’ Meara played new unheard songs that went down spectacularly well with the crowd. The audience was in top form on the night and performed every clap, wave and sing-along that was asked of them. O’Meara even managed to get the crowd to spell out the “Illusion” part from the track ‘Love Illusion’, as a sing-along which is impressive considering illusion is a slippery spelling test when alcohol is involved. Live the singer-songwriter’s music is more expressive; ’Waisting Time’, ‘All Alright’, and ‘Techno or RnB’ all exuded a mesmerising and vigorous indie edge that elevated the tracks to glorious new heights.
O’ Meara’s vocals are very impressive live. On the night this was aptly shown when his full band sound was stripped back for the soul-infused performance of ‘Adore’. O’ Meara oozed emotion and warm tones as his vocals glided over the smooth melody with ease – it was a time-stopping and passionate moment within the set that had the crowd enamoured from start to finish.

The atmosphere was electric in the Workman’s last night. Pauric O’ Meara put on a fantastic, fun-filled show that was a joy to experience. His charming persona is utterly infectious and his passionate performance left much to be admired. Check him out live, you won’t be disappointed.

This made me look back on the memories we have together, and how much I cherish our friendship, and how much I needed him to be around to make the pandemic less grim and to make me realise that not all was lost. He is the person who for me, makes everything ‘All Alright’ ”
