Lowli

Lōwli (pronounced Low-Lee) is the stage name of Roisin Lowry, a composer, songwriter and performer hailing from Galway, Ireland, currently based in Dublin. Her music, an enchanting blend of elegant piano arrangements, haunting vocals and cinematic strings has charmed and captivated audiences around the country. Her work bears elements of neoclassical, dark-pop and folk, and has been influenced by artists such as Agnes Obel and Olafur Arnalds.

Lōwli’s debut EP, Feathers, was released in 2019 and paved the way for her first instrumental single, ‘Worlds Above Us’ which was released later that year. Lōwli’s 2020 single ‘Cavalry' has since been featured on the likes of Hot Press and The Last Mixed Tape, and has been played on RTE Radio 1 and RTE 2fm, among many others.

Having received funding through the MISP recording grant, Lōwli released her second EP, Otherworld, in August 2022. The title track ‘Otherworld’ was playlisted on the RTE Radio 1 Recommends List, and was selected as ‘Song of the Week’ by Kate-Brennan Harding on RTE 2XM. The EP also received support from Hot Press, The Last Mixed Tape and The Thin Air, as well as being played on numerous radio stations such as RTE Radio 1, BBC Radio, RTE RnG, and RTE 2FM.

Lōwli has performed on stages at Other Voices, Ireland Music Week, The Galway Arts Festival and Sounds from a Safe Harbour, to name a few. Her latest headline show was a sold out concert in Dublin’s renowned Smock Alley Theatre in March 2023. Lōwli received Arts Council Agility Awards in 2022 and 2023, and DLR Arts Grants in 2023 & 2024, which have funded the creation of new work and collaborations. She is currently putting the finishing touches on her debut album, which is set for release in 2024.
