Simon Fagan is not our typical Irish singer songwriter. Blending elements of gospel and folk with acoustic rock Simon and his band produce a big Americana sound.

2009 saw Simon tour heavily throughout Ireland and the UK, performing on no fewer then nine primetime BBC shows, Newstalk’s Weekend Blend and Today with Pat Kenny on RTE. Fagan even ventured as far as Egypt, where he and his band not only performed sold out shows in Cairo, Sharm El Sheik and Dahab, but was invited to appear on national TV and Radio. He has previously opened for Lionel Richie, Smokey Robinson and more recently at Laura Izibor’s sold out Tripod show.

With a new album released in May of this year Simon has been receiving accolades both in Ireland and the US. ‘Outside Looking In’ was named Album Of The Week by RTE, while ‘Never Really Cried’ picked up Best Performance at this years International Songwriting Competition, chosen from 15,000 entries and voted for buy the likes of Robbie Williams, Kings Of Leon, Jeff Beck and many more greats.

Currently on the festival circuit in Ireland, he is booking dates in the UK, US & Canada this October and looking to bring hi band to Dubai and Qatar in November.
