Towards the end of 2008, three stalwart musicians came together to try out some new material on each other. The result was as unexpected as it was welcomed.

A couple of jam sessions later, Conor, Shayne and Brian, decided to try out this new material in front of a live audience. With just three songs to their name and under the moniker of Arrow in the Sky, they took to the stage at a local singer songwriter night. The audience reacted the same way they had.

Since those hectic early days, the trio have been busy writing, rehearsing, recording and playing shows. They have supported the likes of Mark Geary, Colm Lynch, Villagers and have just finished a very successful seventeen date tour of Ireland.

Arrow in the Sky have been compared to The Band, Turin Brakes, Crosby, Stills & Nash, and Simon and Garfunkel. Yet listening to Arrow in the Sky is like listening to a new genre of music. Blending what has influenced them with their own individual styles to create a fresh take on folk/rock.


Arrow in the Sky debut E.P. - Do What Thou Wilt.

Arrow in the Sky are off to a blinding start with the release of their debut recording “Do What Thou Wilt,” a six-track mini-album/E.P. featuring some of the finest folk/rock to come out of Ireland in a long time.

The title reflects the bands attitude perfectly. After years in the music game the three musicians, Brian, Conor and Shayne, are finally getting to play the kind of music that excites them most. Nowhere can that be heard more than on their debut release, Do What Thou Wilt.

Conor’s vocals soar, while Brian’s guitar and mandolin picking shines. Backing this up is the beautiful piano and organ playing of Shayne. Dig a little deeper and a wealth of musical instruments can be heard on the record, from accordion to drums all the way through to glocenspeil & banjo, all played by the three members of Arrow in the Sky.

Do What Thou Wilt shall be launched July 6th, at Whelan’s upstairs venue.

The E.P. is released on the fledgling Cellarnmsic Recordings label and was recorded in Exchequer Studios, Dublin by producer Fergal Davis.
