ROCK // DUBLIN, IRELAND , DUBLIN

“Four Faces’ sound is a call for noise and human connection” – Hotpress (2023)

Formed in 2018 after meeting in music college, Four Faces began with an eager ambition to create music which saw them combine elements of Rock, Pop and Traditional Irish Folk.

After careful refinement and time spent honing their sound, the band finally launched in May 2022, with their debut track ‘Disarray’ that along with some of their other earlier releases was funded through First Music Contact’s MISP Award.

Since then, Four Faces have gone on to release multiple singles such as ‘Old Scars’ and ‘Better Option’ that have garnered repeated radio airplay both nationally and internationally and also the support of many notable publications such as Hot Press and RTE. It was through this exposure along with their powerful and dynamic live performances that the band performed to multiple sold rooms with Irish promoter MCD, made their debut live radio performance on BBC ATL with Gemma Bradley and supported Damien Dempsey in Mandela Hall and Vicar Street in December 2023.

Four Faces’ 2024 is already gearing up to be an exciting year, garnering significant attention as BBC ATL includes them in their ‘ATL Rated R Rocks 2024’ lineup and with the band set to release a series of singles and live videos to build momentum for their debut EP scheduled for later this year.

Evelyn & Dec website: www.EvelynandDec.com

Declan Sinnott and Evelyn Kallansee (Evelyn & Dec) started working together in the dark Winter of 2020. Now they’re ready to step into the light. They have written and recorded an album together called ‘Make for Joy’. It was released on February 29th 2024 and was RTE 1 ‘Album of the Week’.
Declan you may well know from his work with Christy Moore, Mary Black, Horslips, Moving Hearts etc. He produces, writes, sings and of course plays guitar with Evelyn.
Evelyn was born on the tropical island of Curaçao, had a music career in the Netherlands and lives in Co. Kerry now. She has gone from singing in Les Misérable to acid Jazz and everything in between.
Together they have found a new path.
In concert you will hear all the songs from their album (and the stories behind them), a few of Declan’s songs and some new takes on old songs. Two voices, one guitar and a warm uplifting attitude.
