Davie Furey released his album, Haunted Streets, in Feb. 2021 to much critical acclaim. The album has been described as “a masterclass in songwriting and musicianship” and has seen its four singles hitting #1 on the Irish Singer-Songwriter charts.
With Haunted Streets, Furey and producer/multi-instrumentalist Martin Quinn have done a wonderful job surrounding the singer/songwriter’s compelling tunes with dynamic, electric arrangements as well as talented musicians who sound like they’ve been playing with Furey for years. Haunted Streets’ 11 tracks defy easy categorization, with songs ranging from fiery rockers (“Fire and Gold” and “The Final Frontier”) to the tender piano ballad “Farewell Returning Blues” and boisterous, horn-fueled “Spaces Full.” His music suggests an Irish twist on Americana music; something like Steve Earle or John Hiatt might have sounded liked had they been born in Dublin.
Over the past few years, he has been a Pure M Awards nominee in the Best Newcomer, Best Male Artist, and Best Irish Solo Act categories and nominated as Folk Artist of the Year for 2021’s Hot Press Irish Music Awards.
