Irish Indie newcomer Jack Devlin lands with new single ‘Dialogue’ released on 22nd September 2023, the follow-up to his 2022 release ‘Lies’. ‘Dialogue’ was written with Harry from Hudson Taylor; it’s a three-minute powerhouse with a sound that aims for bigger places. For fans of Sam Fender, Cold War Kids and Jeff Buckley.
Jack Devlin has been an unstoppable feature in Northern Ireland – playing gigs when the venues will have him, busking on the streets of Ireland and writing constantly.
In the summer of 2020, he realised that a caravan battery could power up a busking session, so he was active with musician friends in Sligo, Galway, Westport, Dublin and Galway. The income was healthy, and the surge in social media supporters was proof that the effort was worth it.
Jack comes from Hilltown, by the Mourne Mountains in Northern Ireland. He was learning guitar at school and was also embarked on a mountain bike adventure, excelling on a competitive level.
In 2018, he was the Ulster Elite Enduro Champion. He rode in Italy and Austria, and following a flight mishap at Whistler, British Columbia, he took to busking between rides to raise the extra cash for the journey home. This music/mountain bike connection was celebrated in a video, Busk to Ride (2017). His other legacy from bike riding is a broken pelvis and a fractured wrist. “I’ve got plates in all sorts of places.”
Music claims his energies now. He has over 100 songs recorded in various states of readiness and has been garnering some significant industry attention in recent times. All will be revealed in the coming months.
“The song is always the foundation of where I judge my success,” he reckons.
