Following the release of ‘My Old Friend John’ Irish independent artist Pa Sheehy announces his first LP ‘Maybe It Was All For This’.
The debut album is due for release Friday October 11th, 2024. The former Walking on Cars frontman has crafted an album of beauty, chaneling his raw talent and true authenticity. It dives into the moments and memories of Pa’s late teenage years until now, growing up in a small town of Dingle in Kerry.
Forged in the West Coast of Ireland Pa Sheehy collaborated on the production with some of his good friends, which was unchartered territory and an exciting step in the creation of his debut record. ‘Maybe It Was All For This’ is a collection of 14 tracks, it sees the artist create a spectrum of feelings from nostalgia, sadness, excitement to euphoria.
From tracks such as ‘Ghost Down The Lane’ to ballad anthemic building ‘Wretched’ and the reminisce yet up tempo ‘The Night The School Burnt Down’.
Speaking about the album Pa said, “Maybe It Was All For This’, I hope this album helps people feel something, I wanted to make something completely expressive. Each song has its own needs and this to me makes it feel like a journey”.
“ I’ve fallen in love with so many artists over the last few years that I don’t know what genre this fits into, but maybe not knowing is what lead us to the magic found along the way. Any reasonable amount of time and energy went completely out the window in the making of it and ultimately I’m happy to say that I’ve made something that is completely an unapologetically me.
Since emerging from the Irish chart topping band Walking on Cars, Pa Sheehy has crafted a work of reflection, a personal introvert diary. A lot of the songs on the record have some kind of fight going on, whether it’s a fight for meaning, or just a way of being in the world. An underdog scrap for acceptance. Coupled with his distinctive vocals and guitars riffs weaved throughout these cleverly written tracks, it’s clear to see that this record shows an artist at the peak of his powers.
This winter see’s Pa Sheehy take to the stage across Europe with a packed gig calendar, including dates in December across Ireland. Tickets on sale now.
