Cork's own Kevin Walsh is set to captivate audiences once again with his latest single, "Ruby," a heartfelt ballad inspired by the themes of his previous acclaimed music video. Ruby's release will be celebrated by an intimate launch event at Al Spailpin Fanach on 13th November, with support from Padraig Cahill.
"Walsh brings a sense of classical artistry to a flamboyant rock persona… his trained tenor is a shining silver of light." – Nicole Mendes, The Other Side Reviews
Overcoming early challenges as a non-verbal autistic child, Kevin Walsh found his voice through music. He honed his craft in many local and semi-professional musical theatre productions. His first single, "Embrace the World," an ode to Autism Awareness, soared to #1 on the Irish iTunes Singles and #19 on the Irish Homegrown Charts with an eclectic style reminiscent of Andrew Lloyd Webber, Disney and Rufus Wainwright. Following this success, his heartfelt cover of Meat Loaf’s "Not a Dry Eye in the House" continued his chart-topping streak and he finished out 2022 with a showstopping performance at Cork Opera House. The award-winning music video of the cover set the stage for inspiring his upcoming poignant piano ballad "Ruby" and a debut EP slated for 2025, Kevin's journey exemplifies the transformative power of art and resilience.
