I grew up in Dublin, travelled extensively and I am currently based back in Dublin.

Here are the details you asked me for. If you require any further information please let me know. Elder Roche, the Dublin/Berlin-based performer releases his 2nd album in October 2014, and embarks on a national tour. In the three and a half years since his first album release, Elder has been invited to perform and tour with many of Ireland’s greatest musicians including Kila’s Rónán Ó Snodaigh, Mary Coughlan, Paddy Casey, Mundy and Damian Dempsey, and has also mesmerised audiences at intimate solo gigs around the country. Nobody Knows (2009), his first album, received audience and critical acclaim. What the press said:

“Manly vocals and powerful storytelling songs bring to mind the genius of Leonard Cohen” - News of the World

“There is something very spiritual about Elder Roche’s songs” - Dan Hegarty, RTÉ 2FM

“Truly talented and truly stunning” - Phantom FM
