Johnny McEvoy

Saturday 02th November 2024
Location: Hotel Kilkenny, College Road, Kilkenny, Ireland
The term ‘living legend’ is sometimes loosely accredited to artists
in the music business but certainly not when people speak about Johnny McEvoy. Johnny has always been highly acclaimed for the quality of his live concert shows and when his Autumn 2024 Tour was announced it received a huge response from his legion of fans nationwide as with Covid and it’s consequences he hasn’t toured for the past 4 years.
His current live show is called ‘A nostalgic Evening of ‘Song and
Story’ and features all of Johnny’s ‘Hit’ songs,including Mursheen
Durkin, Boston Burglar, Long before your Time,Rich Man’s Garden,Michael Collins etc, many of these songs penned by Johnny.
His songs are hauntingly beautiful and evocative, always presented
with an individuality that is unmistakably his own unique style. One
can truthfully state that Johnny McEvoy has been one of the most
enduring and talented singer songwriters in the Folk/Ballad genre in Ireland over the past 50 years. His concert performances are 2nd to none and incorporate a brief but relevant reference to the story of each song. The lyrical clarity of Johnny’s vocals combined with gentle backing from excellent musicians is a joy to listen to and ensures a wonderful and joyful evening of ‘Song and Story’
