Folk Guitarist Muireann Bradley – Releases New EP ‘Rose Dogs’ with the new origanl single ‘No Name Blues’

Once-in-a-generation teenage folk guitarist and singer Muireann Bradley today shares her new EP ‘Rose Dogs’, out now via Universal’s newly relaunched Fontana label in partnership with Verve Forecast. The release features Muireann’s first-ever original song, ‘No Name Blues’, alongside her recent singles, ‘These Days’ and ‘Clay Pigeons’. Inspired by traditional ‘murder ballads’ and songs of scorned women from artists like Memphis Minnie and Bessie Smith, ‘No Name Blues’ is a modern take on these iconic tracks, which, instead of their demise, sees the female protagonist exacting their revenge and coming out on top.

After a standout summer that included a memorable set at End Of The Road festival, Muireann recently joined an all-star lineup at Harvest Moon Gathering in Lake Hughes, California — performing on the same bill as Neil Young,Lana Del Rey, and Beck. Next month, she embarks on her first UK and Ireland headline tour, kicking off with a sold-out show at The Sugar Club in Dublin on 9th November. The run includes stops at The Lexington in London (17th November) as well as Manchester, Glasgow, Brighton and more. In December, Muireann will join Irish trio Amble on their tour, The Reverie Tour,for two sold-out shows at Dublin’s 3 Arena (4th December) and Belfast’s SSE Arena (10th December). Most shows are now sold-out, limited tickets remaining available here – full dates listed below. 

Bringing the storytelling spirit of folk and blues to a new generation, Muireann has quickly built a dedicated following for her distinctive playing style and emotionally rich interpretations of classic songs, a depth that far exceeds her years. She recently performed Bob Dylan’s ‘Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright’ for Mahogany Sessions watch here.

From recording in her bedroom to performing on Jools Holland’s Hootenanny watch here and The Late Late Show, Muireann’s rise has been nothing short of remarkable. Her debut album  ‘I Kept These Old Blues’  has already achieved cult status among collectors, with the first pressing selling out entirely; an extraordinary feat considering she recorded it at just 15 years old. Now poised for global recognition, Muireann Bradley continues to prove herself as one of Ireland’s brightest young talents. Watch a brilliant overview of her story so far here.
