Papa Boyle

Papa Boyle is a Retro Indie artist based out of Dublin, Ireland. From an early age, he was given exposure to a wide range of music that spanned multiple decades and genres which fuelled the fire to become a songwriter and performer.

Taking inspiration from the retro sounds of the ’50s and 60’s Rock n Roll era (ie Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, The Everly Brothers) with a tinge of modern Indie (ie Father John Misty, Angel Olsen, Kings Of Leon, Orville Peck) Papa Boyle croons over an ambient landscape filled with rousing melodies and pondering punchlines.

The resulting hooks transport the listener to diners of old, bars of new, and crossroads that feel familiar yet unknown at the same time. With aspirations of 2024 being a breakout year with releases and gigs across Ireland, Papa Boyle has already seen himself land some great success with his debut release ‘Between Two Fools’ which was released in April 2024. and the follow up single 'Last Chance Saloon'. He ended 2024 with his mesmerising single 'Tranquillo'. His latest single 'Falling For A Daydream' was released on March 7th which has been well recieved so far.

He has been picked up in various stations and magazines such as Hot Press including Track Of The Day, RTE Entertainment, Pure Mzine, The Beat, Shannonside FM, Galway Bay FM, RTE 2XM, Clare Fm's Irish Artist Of The Week, Cork96Fm, Prospect Radio, Otherside Reviews, Jace Media Music and many more as well as supporting Elaphi in the Workmans Cellar with Singular Artists. Now he's back with aspirations to build on his momentum and make 2025 an even bigger year with shows in Amsterdam with Sofar Sounds and a headline show in Workmans Cellar in March this year.

His sound brings something fresh and unique to the music scene, watch this space!
