Aoife + The Willows

Based in Dublin’s Fair City, Aoife + The Willows were founded in 2023 by 20yo Aoife Williams, originally hailing from the Kildare countryside, eager to share her poetic lyrics and intricate melodies with the world. She gathered her bandmates and now close friends while studying in college. Tim Tora on drums, with his metal background adds a welcomed grit to Karl Dreimanis’s firmly funk and blues lead guitar roots. The boys bounce off each other as Franky Sheridan on bass holds down the groove for Aoife’s evocative lead vocal and Emily Maguire’s Disney Princess esque backing vocals.

“Firmly in the indie pop vein albeit with a twist of skewed pop a la Fiona Apple” - The Goo Dublin
