Garrett Laurie

Wine stained white shirts, candle lit library aisles and stained glass windows - a distinctive ‘Choirboy Coven’-like world. These are the kind of images that singer-songwriter Garrett Laurie can effortlessly conjure, through their unique brand of mesmerising, vocally driven alt-folk. They explore the queer experience with a voice echoing the all time greats 'with soul stirring finesse', as put by The Thin Air. With a provocative musical narrative, Laurie glides seamlessly between breathy verses and choruses in impassioned pleas, showcasing an impressive vocal range with masterful precision.

Recently, Laurie was selected as one of four acts in the Oh Yeah Centre's prestigious 'Scratch My Progress' mentorship program and as one of Youth Music’s ‘Ones To Watch’ for 2024. Additionally, Laurie was nominated for the Joe Cassidy Chrysalis Award at the 2023 NI Music Prize building anticipation for their sophomore EP coming early 2024, co-produced with Anthony Keenan, Ryan McGroarty and Chris Ryan.
