This debut studio album marks a powerful milestone in Gearoid McCarthy’s 20-year musical journey. Gearoid has created an album that captures the heart, history, and soul of his career so far.
Each of the 15 tracks tells a part of that story — from singing “My Old Man” with his father at just eight years old, to the wild energy of Dublin’s music scene in his late teens, to his travels around the world collecting songs and inspiration. The album also celebrates his journey to Newfoundland, a place that has become a second home and a deep source of creative connection.
A heartfelt nod to family, friends, his fiancée, and his son Jack, this album is both a reflection and a celebration — a tribute to the people who’ve shared in the highs and lows along the way.
As Gearoid himself says, “This album is not just an album to me. It’s a 20-year music career coming together in a studio, and it was just beautiful to be a part of.”
Most of all, it’s dedicated to his dad — “and to you, I tip my hat.”
