Irish songwriter Darragh O’Dea is known for his wistful storytelling. By using historical imagery to tell present-day stories, he creates nostalgic nuggets of joy and despair. His music conveys the moods and elements of his surroundings, delivered in an honest and alluring manner. Darragh hails from Tuam, Co. Galway and weaves a tapestry of the everyday in sonic threads on his new music. ”Tilly And The Postmaster", the debut album by Darragh O'Dea gets it's release on October 29th 2021 and has been described as a love letter to Ireland – all it's madness and all it's beauty. Opening with a spoken word prelude from his grandfather and named after his grandparents, the new record is full of wistful indie folk storytelling. His new material, heavily influenced by peers such as Kevin Morby, Bright Eyes, Christy Moore and Willy Mason, shows that he is a master storyteller. “Deliciously uncool in a heart on sleeve way” - Donal Scannell (Born Optimistic) "Great imagery and poetry" - Ruth Smith (Simply Folk, RTE Radio 1)
