DARA EATON & THE PATSY'S are an indie rock band hailing from Co. Carlow.
After releasing 2 albums on Spotify (GENUINE PIG and FOUR CHORD PILE UP) during the lockdown period, DARA EATON called upon his greatest allies to form THE PATSY'S to take his music to the next level. DARA EATON & THE PATSY'S consists of DARA EATON (guitar and lead vocals), EMMET JONES (keyboard and backing vocals), KEITH TUNSTEAD (bass), BRIAN GRANT (percussion and backing vocals) and LIAM FITZGERALD (drums).
DARA EATON & THE PATSY'S are inspired by many artists including The Beatles, David Bowie, The Pixies, Ween along with many others.
In September 2024, DARA EATON & THE PATSY'S released their latest album titled JACK AND THE SKAG. Each song is a chapter in the story of Jack and his tumultuous relationship with himself and with his band The Skag. Three songs from JACK AND THE SKAG were released as stand alone singles prior to the albums release: PAIDH D'NÍR, MR BRITTLE BONES and SOME OTHER PADDY.
DARA EATON & THE PATSY'S can also be found as performers in the local SCRAMBLE SESSIONS, a monthly music busking session that brings various musicians from Carlow together as performers in order to raise money for various charity organizations across Ireland.
