Conleth Mc Geary’s latest single ‘Beverly’ is an acoustic folk ballad built around melodic vocals and intimate guitar, carrying the ache of leaving home and the quiet comfort of family as a refuge. With post-breakup travel, nostalgia, and emotional storytelling at its core, it sits naturally beside Dermot Kennedy and Damien Rice.

Speaking on the track, Conleth says: “This song is about relying on family for healing. I think most Irish people have some relation to either living away in America or Australia, and I went to my big cousin for a summer in Boston on a J1 visa. I was lucky enough to have someone to lean on during that time, and I had the summer of my life.”
‘Beverly’ marks Conleth’s first release since signing with Rubarb Music - the newly launched Irish artist development label from Grammy Award-winning producer and mix engineer Ruadhri Cushnan and music industry veteran and 2025 Dublin Entrepreneur of the Year, Shea McNelis - just in time for Conleth’s upcoming tour of Ireland and the UK, including a sell-out headline show in Belfast’s Empire Music Hall.
Blending sounds of folk and home, Conleth Mc Geary has been pursuing the dream of making music which connects with people - both at home and away.
Seeking inspiration from the likes of Foy Vance, and more recently, Amble and Ye Vagabonds, Conleth's style has been created through years of graft as a solo musician across Ireland and the UK, touring both extensively, and supporting artists such as The Coronas.
Having made his way to Australia with The Coronas on their 'Thoughts and Observations' tour in 2024, Conleth followed it up with a rousing headline appearance on the Emerging Artists stage at Misneach - a festival curated by Dermot Kennedy - in Sydney in March 2025. In 2026, Conleth will follow up his own UK/Ireland tour with a further headline tour in Australia, as well as plans for the US and Canada.
