Belfast born singer-songwriter and producer Gareth Dunlop has been recognised as an accomplished talent ever since the BBC tipped him as ‘one to watch’ in 2010 when he was not long out of his teens. In the decade since he has released several singles, a handful of EPs and two albums that have been musically eclectic yet have all showcased his highly soulful voice, with several of his songs going on to be used in the hit TV series ‘Nashville’, other shows (‘Lucifer’, ‘This Is Us’, Bones’, ‘Suits’), movies (‘The Best Of Me’, ‘Safe Haven’, ‘The Visitor’) and commercials (Disney, Subaru). His latest album 'Animal’ consists of a diverse set of songs that include the soulful and anthemic ‘Right About Ready’ and first single ‘Look Back Smiling’, which evoke the ‘80s yet exude a timeless quality, the highly atmospheric ‘Sorrow’ and ‘Prisoner Of My Past’, which both channel late period Roxy Music, the laid-back ‘60s dream pop vibe of ‘Humans’, plus a memorable title song that adds an electronic bounce to its subtle groove. The album has received critical acclaim with praise like “There are few albums that embed themselves so deeply in one’s self, that speak to us on such a deep level, while simultaneously lifting us off the ground” from Nanobot Rock; backed up by Red Guitar Music “’Animal’ is a terrific record that hasn’t been far from my player for some time now, despite stiff competition” 2023 promises new music from Gareth Dunlop and more live shows across USA, UK & Europe.
