sorting life out one song at a time
Photography by Casey King There was an unseasonable chill in the air as I loaded my overnight green polka dot bag into my car, said my goodbyes, and began my trip back to Charleston, South Carolina from my second Dermot Kennedy show of the Sonder tour. Less than 12 hours prior, I’d been singing at…
I remember when Dermot Kennedy’s music found me back in 2017. It gave me something that no other music had been able to give me. It served as a mirror to my deepest thoughts and memories, and every time I listened, it reflected some of the most beautiful moments of my life and some of…

Dermot Kennedy has come a long way from busking on the streets of Dublin to selling out gigs all over the world, and he will not be a best kept secret for much longer. I first heard the Irish singer/songwriter in September 2017, and it became apparent very quickly that one of my only regrets…

Irish singer/songwriter Dermot Kennedy has completely taken me by surprise. His new single “Moments Passed” was added to one of my playlists a couple days ago.
