Biography

KJ McEvoy is a roots, blues and Americana singer-songwriter originally from Dublin, now based in North Wexford. A lifelong musician, his career has taken him from Irish stages to New York City, where he spent eight years living, writing and performing, playing lead guitar with a wide range of bands and artists.

He has toured and recorded extensively with his sister Eleanor McEvoy, and is also known as one half of the acclaimed Americana/Roots duo The Remedy Club. Under that name, and earlier incarnations, the band released five albums to wide critical acclaim and toured consistently throughout Ireland, the UK, Germany and France.

Now embarking on a long-awaited solo chapter, KJ is currently recording a new album that places his songwriting, expressive guitar work and soulful vocal delivery front and centre. Rooted in blues and Americana, the music reflects a lifetime spent following songs wherever they led.

KJ performs solo, as a duo with harmonica player Graham Moore, or with a full band.

Music built from real places, real stories, and real time.

About the Album

Recorded in Wexford, this album captures KJ McEvoy at his most stripped-back and honest. Across ten original tracks, KJ leans into the raw edges of acoustic blues and roots music, letting the songs breathe without overproduction or polish getting in the way.

These are songs shaped by years on the road, quiet rooms, and lived-in stories — carried by fingerpicked guitar, a soulful vocal, and a deep respect for the traditions that inspired them. It’s an album built on feel rather than flash, recorded close to home and meant to be listened to the same way.
