Mick Flannery is a 24 year old stone mason who was brought up on a farm outside Blarney, Co. Cork, Ireland. His first real connection to music was watching an unplugged Nirvana covering Bowies The Man Who Sold the World. After a stint in a music college in Cork, he travelled to the U.S. where he wandered around for a few years. While there, he entered the U.S. Songwriting Competition in Nashville, Tennessee and, to his surprise, won two top awards for his compositions.

If asked, Mick adamantly refuses to talk about himself. The best youll get from him on any given day is, maybe, an admission that hes a bit grumpy, he enjoys a good game of poker, and hed love to own a Gibson.

So, if youre determined to get up close and personal with Mick Flannery, youre gonna have to kick back and listen to his music because thats where he actually talks about himself. Mick writes all of his songs (words and music) and plays both piano and guitar.

Mick Flannery is a singing and songwriting force to be reckoned with. Siobhán Long, Irish Times

Mick is a songwriter of the first order His voice is pained, gravelly, and powerful. Recorded or live, it carries through and stops you in your tracks. Urban Folk, New York

@cronin7 my friend Hezekiah Jones does the same thing...it is an interesting thing...I think he said his brother gave him the guitar so he just learned to play it like that...although to be fair Hez is not known for his guitar work...he is a brilliant poet who tells his stories in song :)

this Mick dude is something else ..just discovered him this morning :)
