Formed by Kilkenny native Emlyn Holden in 2014, The Southern Fold have a self released EP and full length album behind them and an impressive history of gigging that has taken their Alt. Folk / Roots Rock sound all over Ireland and across the pond to the UK.
Their debut EP, ‘A True Ascension from the Wayward Path’, was released in April 2016, with cello, piano and electric guitar added to the mix. This was followed by full length LP ‘Bible Fear’ released in October 2019 with full band, after which the group found themselves on a forced hiatus during the Covid pandemic.
Taking a temporary break from the live circuit, the band remained hard at work behind the scenes and a new batch of songs was written with recording currently being completed. A new single, ‘Nothing to Fear’ was released in March 2024 to positive reviews. Another new song, ‘Before the Fall’ was released on 13th September with an album set to follow.
