Mike Dempsey
Mike Dempsey, a native of Athlone, floats impressive vocals through sometimes gritty, sometimes angelic melody lines over an articulate, edgy acoustic guitar accompaniment. His style has sometimes been compared to Damien Rice, among other modern performers.

How long playing:
A long time, it's hard to say, really
How long have you been writing:
Quite a while, I suppose as long as I've been playing
Thoughts on the local scene:
There is an audience out there, it's just a matter of rooting them out. It's hard to get people to go to gigs, but it's just a matter of keep plugging away at it 'til people hear ya.
Long-term plans:
Dont' really have any - I'll just see what happens.
