About this user
Tupelo are an exciting, original, acoustic roots act consisting of an eclectic line-up of instruments which includes banjo, guitar, fiddle, saxophone and double bass. Their sound is fresh and unique in today's world of endless electric outfits.
Tupelo formed in the winter of 2008 in Dublin. Tupelo can attribute their progress to relentless giging up and down the country, honing their craft doing so. Between headlining shows, appearances at countless festivals, and playing support to some of music's biggest acts, the band loves being on the road and thrives off their fans and live shows.
In May 2011 Tupelo signed to Crashed Records and released their 14 track debut album 'Dirty Money' on September 23rd. An appearance at the All-Ireland Hurling Final at Croke Park in front of 80,000 people was the opportunity of a lifetime for Tupelo, and a promising road lies ahead for the band.
QUOTES
'Grade A acoustic musicianship'
'with an authentic formula that scores where it matters, Tupelo makes music that sounds as joyful to make as it is to listen to'
Jackie Hayden
'I've had the pleasure of working with Tupelo a great band from Dublin. They have a wonderful sound, great musicianship and fantastic songswriting. They have a rootsy sound of great mixtures from blues and country to trad. They move the audience from mood to mood with ease from heartfelt patriotism to pure good auld fashioned fun with their brilliant songs. With their lead singers charm and the bands sense of fun they'll have you in the palm of their hand. What more could you want?'
