Erin & The Lens is headlining this April 10th in The Poor Relation as part of her and local artists "Chiarastella" & "My Shrinking Violet" single release party.
Erin & The Lens is a music artist with influences from Indie, Contemporary Folk, Jazz, Triphop, Rock & Soul music. Erin
has been touring extensively throughout Ireland and made her way to London, Edinburgh & Paris ‘25. Her writing draws from the Irish poetic tradition & her experience of over a decade in Social Care work with songs exploring mental health, inner resilience, human behaviour, love, and the mystical.
Known for her entrancing performances and versatile voice that carries raw emotional expression and soothing tones. Her full band performances expand her sound into sweeping, cinematic territory with atmospheric songs and emotional intensity.
Her first single "Yellow Door" was single of the week on national radio and the recent stop motion animation music video has won Best Music Video at Cork Picture House and has been nominated at Madrid Indie Film Festival ‘25 and Prague Film Festival ’26.
Chiarastella is a singer, songwriter, and producer. Originally from Italy, she moved to Ireland in 2016. In Italy, Chiarastella toured all around the country, participating as a finalist in prestigious music contests and featuring in theatre productions. Her music production has always focused on electro-pop and dream-pop features, until recently, when she started playing the five-stringed banjo and was drawn to the folk world.
Billy Mansfield is a Cork-born musician with over two decades of experience, having started on guitar at just 12 years old and performing across a wide range of bands. Now stepping into a new chapter with his solo project "My Shrinking Violet," he brings a more personal and intimate sound to the stage. Blending soft fragile vocals with dreamy, melodic guitar work. Echoing a wide range of influences from radiohead to Eliot smith to Alex Turner.
Expect intimate, inward-looking songs, rich with melody and grounded in the kind of authenticity that only comes from years of lived experience.
This gig is not to be missed !
Free entry.
Doors at 9pm.
