Kevin Quigley

Kevin Quigley & The Great Ideas are set to headline live @ Monroes! Americana-Folk outfit from Cork that bridges the gap between traditional heartfelt storytelling & the raw grit of roots rock. Think the stomping energy of CCR with a runaway fiddle.
Following a landmark 2025, the band continues to break new ground. The release of Kevin’s debut EP propelled their total Spotify streams past the 140,000 mark, a milestone matched only by a consistent trail of capacity crowds. It’s a track record that proves the substance behind the Hot Press acclaim, perfectly capturing the band’s signature blend of "Americana soul and heartfelt storytelling.”
Renowned for an infectious stage presence and magnetic chemistry, the group transitions seamlessly between Quigley's intimate, acoustic solo performances and the high-energy, country-rock spirit of the full band. This versatility has earned them a loyal following and a string of successful headline shows at iconic venues such as Upstairs @ Whelan’s, Curveball - The Button Factory, Coughlans and support slots for legendary acts like Mary Black and Ispíní na hÉireann.

On support on the night is Darragh O'Dea who is a world-class songwriting talent, you’ve likely heard his latest single ‘Take Her Handy’ all over RTE Radio 1 and the BBC lately. From the Eventim Apollo to Moseley Folk Fest.
