Irish Geale

“I started my music journey at a young age by singing in choirs and in the car on road trips. Inspired by my father—whose songs I would sing along to around a campfire—I picked up a guitar three years ago and wrote my first original song. Since then, I’ve continued writing and began receiving invitations to perform at cafes, restaurants, and community events.”

Please join us August 31st for the inaugural COMMON GROUND FESTIVAL!✨
