Irish singer succeeds with new EP "Highways & Hurricanes
The great tragedy of life brought Irish singer and songwriter Chris Breheny aka Moncrieff to music - and you can hear that immediately, in every song and every note. Moncrieff tells in his soulful, honest songs about all the fates and setbacks that affect everyone in one way or another. With four EPs so far, each presenting six new songs, he played himself into the heads and hearts of many Irish and British, with the singles "Warm" and "Serial Killer" he achieved his first chart successes. Around the release of his new EP "Highways & Hurricanes", the solo artist, who has been living in Berlin since the fall of 2022, will go on a big tour at the end of the year. Between November 27 and December 6, he will make guest appearances for six shows in Munich, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Leipzig, Hamburg and Cologne.
Yes, of course: Chris Breheny has always liked music - but always only as a nice background, as a soundtrack that makes life more colorful and richer. The young man, who grew up in an Irish village far away from any music scenes, did not have his own music career in mind: "In these parts of Ireland, music was rather something that was looked down upon. Instead, when you were young, you tended to do sports to belong," says Moncrieff. Instead, it took two really hard strokes of fate for budding law student Chris Breheny to mature into musician Moncrieff.
