"Elder is someone I could easily describe as a truly talented individual. His performances take you on an uncensored tour of the soul. His presence is both honest and cautious. Stunning" Sinister Pete - Phantom FM. Singer/songwriter Elder began playing piano and experimenting with music from the early age of eleven. He has since shared the stage with such musicians as Paddy Casey, Juno Falls, Juliette Turner and Damien Dempsey. 2FM DJ Dan Hegarty, said, "There's something spiritual about Elder's songs. The debut album will be a gem - We'll just have to wait to enjoy it". "I'm a live musician and get my energy from the people and my surroundings. I refuse to accept anything less from my studio recordings. This album is the signature to my work." Elder is a name that is steadily growing around the Dublin and Irish music scene. His songs immerse the grittier side of life paving the way with slapping grooves and roots overtones. His theatrical story telling has likened him to Tom Waits, and David Bowie.
