Garrett Laurie

Garrett Laurie, he/they, inhabits a world of wine-stained white shirts, candle-lit library aisles and dust specked, stained-glass windows. It’s a distinctive “Choirboy Coven” universe realised through mesmerising, vocally driven alt-folk. Exploring the queer experience and childhood trauma with unflinching intimacy, Laurie’s voice echoes all-time greats like Stevie Nicks with “hints of Jeff Buckley” (Dig With It), delivered “with soul-stirring finesse” (The Thin Air). Their music glides between genderless, breathy verses and choruses in impassioned, silken pleas, showcasing an expansive vocal range that “goes cascading over the octaves”, with masterful precision. (Dig With It)

In a few short years, Laurie has been shortlisted for awards including The Joe Cassidy Chrysalis Award (NI Music Prize 2023), The Gerry Anderson Music Bursary Award (2025) and Best Solo Track at 2025’s Youth Music Awards held in London. Upon landing performance slots at Sound of Belfast, Output and Under The Drum Festival, Laurie is steadily amassing a loyal following, building anticipation for their debut, concept album expected Spring 2027.
