Paul Sherry – has announced details of an Irish + UK tour

A recognised force on the Irish rock ’n’ roll scene since the age of sixteen, Sherry combines rich guitar technicality, rugged vocal delivery, and thoughtful songwriting to carve a powerful sound. A full-time touring solo artist, session musician, and educator, his career is marked by high-calibre collaborations with an impressive list of artists, including Marc Ford (The Black Crowes), Dale Davis (Amy Winehouse), Arron Sterling (John Mayer, Post Malone), Jorgen Carlsson (Gov’t Mule), Kenny Aronoff (Smashing Pumpkins), Gráinne Duffy and Justin Stanley (Beck).

Renowned for his minimalist yet powerful guitar setup and tone-first philosophy, Sherry draws inspiration from blues legends and classic rock heroes while maintaining a sound that is distinctly his own, focused on feel, dynamics, and expression.

His latest album, Peace In Mind, is a rock and roots journey that balances introspection with fire. The record earned 4 stars from RnR Magazine alongside back-to-back No.1 singles on the UK’s Future Hits Top 40 Radio.
