Rising Irish artist Bryan Murphy – shares nostalgic summer single ‘Sunset’

Sunset is the new single from Bryan Murphy, a warm, nostalgic track that captures the feeling of a fleeting summer romance and the emotional glow of nights that feel like they might last forever.

Built around golden-hour imagery and an easy sense of movement, the song reflects carefree days, late nights, and the energy of being fully present in moments that are already slipping into memory. There’s a subtle dance influence running through it, paired with a laid-back, Mediterranean-tinged warmth that gives the track a bright, seasonal lift.

At its core, Sunset is about connection to people, to place, and to time itself and the way certain summers stay with us long after they’re gone. It also marks a step forward in Murphy’s songwriting, highlighting his growing focus on original material and a sound that blends Irish roots with a wider, more contemporary palette.

Hailing from the heart of County Kerry, Bryan Murphy is an emerging Irish artist blending traditional roots with a modern, crossover sound. Instantly recognisable for his distinctive voice and his rare dual mastery of button accordion and guitar, Murphy has built a reputation as a compelling live performer with a natural connection to his audience.

From intimate pub sessions to standout performances at venues such as the INEC and Siamsa Tíre, he brings a sense of energy, authenticity, and storytelling that cuts through in every setting. His music bridges worlds, rooted in Irish tradition but increasingly shaped by contemporary influences, global rhythms, and a growing original catalogue.

In 2025, Murphy reached a new milestone with a sold-out Irish tour, Songs I Want to Sing, followed by international performances including a Caribbean cruise and a US tour that introduced his music to new audiences and expanded his fanbase significantly.

With momentum building and a clear artistic direction emerging, Bryan Murphy is fast establishing himself as a rising voice in Irish music with an expanding international reach.
