The award-winning\, double-platinum-selling artist has rele ased seven studio albums\, four of which have reached No. 1. Mick Flanne ry is one of Ireland’s most acclaimed singers and songwriters. The award -winning\, double-platinum-selling artist has released seven studio albu ms\, four of which have reached No. 1. “Mick Flannery has a voice for th e ages\, a complete master of his craft\,” wrote Clash Magazine\, while The Sunday Times praised his ability to “conjure up exquisite storytelli ng.” His 2021 album\, In the Game\, was a collection of duets with risin g Irish artist Susan O’Neill. American Songwriter called the record a “s orrowful masterpiece.” It was nominated for the Choice Music Prize and p roduced two consecutive RTÉ Radio 1 Songs of the Year\, “Baby Talk” and “Chain Reaction.” In the Game was also the biggest-selling independent a lbum in Ireland in 2021. Flannery’s 2023 album\, Goodtime Charlie\, was released through John Prine’s Oh Boy Records\, making him the first inte rnational artist signed to the label. Known for songs that capture the l ayered complexities of the human condition\, Flannery brought that same depth of storytelling to the stage in 2026 with The House Must Win\, a m usical written by Flannery and produced by Hadestown’s Liam Robinson. Th e production premiered in Dublin and Cork with a completely sold-out fiv e-week run. The story was then expanded into an album of the same name\, bringing together a wide cast of acclaimed artists\, including Anaïs Mi tchell\, Jeffrey Martin and Lisa Hannigan. Ambitious in scale and rooted in the character-driven songwriting that has defined his career\, The H ouse Must Win marks one of Flannery’s most significant works to date. Pr aise for The House Must Win: 8.5/10 “Two decades’ worth of love\, care a nd attention. Superb.” Hot Press ★★★★ “Something of a National Treasure. ” Mojo “Mick Flannery’s ninth studio project is not simply another colle ction of songs — it is his magnum opus.” Album of the Week\, Gästeliste “With this opulent double album\, the singer-songwriter places himself s eamlessly within the Irish musical tradition\, moving between folk-pop a nd Cave-esque murder ballad.” Kultur Musik “It is a storytelling masterw ork\, one that ventures deep into the murk of human existence.” Galore.d e As a babe Jeffrey Martin sought out solitude as often as he could find it. He's always been that way\, and he has never understood the whole p henomenon of smiling in pictures\, although he is a very happy guy. One night in middle school he stayed up under the covers with a flashlight a nd a DiscMan\, listening to Reba McEntire's 'That's the Night that the L ights Went Out in Georgia' on repeat until the DiscMan ran out of batter ies. That night he became a songwriter\, although he didn't actually wri te a song until years later. After high school he spent a few years dist racting himself from having to gather up the courage to do what he knew he had to do. Eventually he found his way to a writing degree\, and then a teaching degree. He wrote most days like his life depended on it\, al l sorts of things\, not just songs\, but songs too. He fell in love with teaching high school English\, which was fantastic because he never tho ught he'd actually come to truly love it. His students were fierce and u nstoppable forces of noise and curiosity\, and for all that they took fr om him in sleep and sense\, they gave him a hundred times back in sparks and humility. All the while he was also playing truckloads of music. Th ere was one weekend where he flew to LA while grading essays on the plan e\, played two shows\, and then flew back home\, still grading essays\, and woke up to teach at 5 am on Monday morning. It was around this time he started wondering if such a life was sustainable. Alas\, music\, the tour life\, was a constant raccoon scratching at the back door. Jeffrey spent nights on end sitting up in bed\, and then sitting on the front po rch\, staring off into the dark\, wondering if he could bear to leave te aching to go on tour full time. Eventually his brain caught up with what his guts had known for months. With tears in his eyes he announced to h is students that he wouldn't be back the following year\, and that he di dn't feel right hollering at them to chase their dreams at all cost if h e wasn't going to do the same. Jeffrey Martin tours full time now. He is always making music\, and he is always coming through your town. He mis ses teaching like you might miss a good old friend who you know you'll m eet again. Jeffrey has put out bunches of music since 2009\, but he's mo st proud of the more recent stuff. He's fortunate to be a part of the gr eat and loving family that is Fluff and Gravy Records in Portland\, OR. "One Go Around\," which released in October 2017\, is his 3rd full lengt h album. At his luckiest\, he's shared shows with the likes of Sean Haye s\, Gregory Alan Isakov\, Courtney Marie Andrews\, Jeffrey Foucault\, Jo e Pug\, Peter Mulvey\, Amanda Shires\, Sean Rowe\, Tracy Grammer\, David Wilcox\, and others. He currently lives in Portland\, OR but feels late ly that it has become a secret that someone figured out how to monetize. And since he has no money of any kind\, everything beautiful about the city is marred by the quiet ticking of a countdown toward the day that h e'll have to find somewhere to live that doesn't require a steady bleedi ng fortune.
