The Oars

The OARS is a new contemporary duo featuring songwriter and guitarist Eoin Coughlan and multi instrumentalist Brian Morrissey. Their recently released album was recorded and produced in Louisiana by multi-Grammy winner Dirk Powell, who describes: “Listening to The OARS, one gets drawn in first by the infectious rhythms and magnetic musical chemistry. The tunes and grooves are rock solid yet always moving. The songs arrive in the centre of this feeling, full of brave lyrics, vivid imagery, and fearless emotion. Their combination of rawness and finesse is truly rare and instantly engaging”. The OARS are already attracting attention from some of the main European festivals. They recently supported the iconic band The Stunning and are set to tour with Damien Dempsey in April 2025.
