Cork’s vibrant music scene welcomes a rising star as hip hop artist jarjarjr (aka Robert O’ Halloran) unveils his debut album, a masterful blend of introspection, rhythm, raw talent and buoyant attitude. Drawing from a diverse range of influences and experiences, jarjarjr’s ‘Catch The Dusk’ will captivate audiences with its palpable depth and groovy passion. Think 1960’s Manhattan cocktail party, but with a twist of Cork pizazz. The album ‘Catch The Dusk’ is the culmination of a decades’ worth of dedication and growth which aims to inspire listeners both figuratively and sonically. The album wows visually too, with David Willis, Brownsauce and Ben Kavanagh directed music videos.
With two massively successful Guinness Cork Jazz festivals under his belt, jarjarjr’s live ensemble has become a frenetic and sophisticated jazz rap tour de force. Join the Lee-side lyricist for his home town album launch on Thursday 24th of October, Live at St. Lukes.
