Silver Branches live shows take on a range of different approaches, from acoustic short story songs of Love and perseverance, to upbeat electric guitar indie/punk songs of grit, defiance and humour. He writes songs from the perspective of an old heart, questioning our experiences, our connections to the past and the unruly bodies we inhabit. Incorporating analogue drum machines/synths as a solo performer and cello as a duo, he delivers music in its most unadulterated form, light and shade run through the songs with an urgency and tenderness that often reflects the Jekyll and Hyde world we inhabit.
"Undeniably addictive alt folk" - Hotpress
“A poet of the storytelling tradition, nuanced in his own form with songs of richness and believability that is hard found” - David Keenan.
“The next big thing… Kieran Mulvihill is a fantastic song writer. His music reminds us earnestly but with one foot in the Earth to love our loved ones while
we can and while they are with us” - RTE Culture by Junior Brother.
