:: ELDER ROCHE
" Elder Roche and his band delivered a rousing set that had everyone dancing in their seats." - Nighthawks in the Cobalt review - Irish Times
"There's no doubting Elder Roche's ears have been pricked - for a long time. Elder's songwriting has been peppered with influences as wayward as Jethro Tull, Crowded House, and possibly even a lengthy spell in the company of Dave Lynch. Shadowy figures lope and loiter in unlikely settings, and he clearly revels in the way his characters look askance at the world. Elder's voice and wit hint at a creative spirit all his own." - Irish Times. 4 Stars.
The Irish Independent & HOTPRESS gave him their seal of approval stating that “Ireland has a new singer songwriter to be reckoned with!” “The announcement of this release date is great news for true music lovers – NOBODY KNOWS is simply a pleasure to listen to with its perfectly eclectic blend of influences”‐ Patrick James
Blog MIXTAPE/ 2UIBESTOW awarded ELDER ROCHE as their RUBY TUESDAY ARTIST “Elder Roche has shown massive potential with his debut album 'Nobody Knows'. You can't but hear Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen influences, but this is a fine true folk troubadour”.
It is said that those born under the Elder sign are able to live and prosper under any conditions’. Experimenting with music from the early age of eleven, this Dublin based musical poet has shared the stage with many of Ireland’s well known’s over the years‐ Paddy Casey, Damien Rice, Juno Falls, Juliet Turner and Damian Dempsey. He is no stranger to the press or radio as the past few years have seen ELDER grow and establish himself as an entertaining and riveting performer‐ not to mention a solemn musician who remains true to the very elements that preserves the original with the new. He has played in venues across the world (America and Europe) and indeed in Ireland. Embracing the grittier side of life and paving the way with slapping grooves and roots overtones. ELDER’s theatrical story telling has likened him to Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave and David Bowie. (Who can argue with them comparisons). His fantastic eagerly awaited studio album NOBODY KNOWS contains catchy progressions and is every bit the way to go in etching his own space within the songs that fuse the current music scene both in Ireland and further afield.
