GRÁINNE HUNT
A queer, nu-folk, singer-songwriter with a voice like complex coffee, Gráinne Hunt is a standout among Ireland’s most compelling vocalists and songwriters – blending raw emotion with commanding power and a voice that will take your breath away.
„The Irish Joni.“ Michael Londra
Her two original records and new live EP, draw from deeply personal experiences, weaving stories of pain, longing and joy, earning her comparisons to Tracy Chapman and Natalie Merchant. Her duo show with Jules Stewart on drums and vocals have drawn comparisons to The Indigo Girls and Brandi Carlile.
„…an astounding voice that will melt your heart. No crowd can resist.“ Declan O’Rourke
Her reputation as a powerhouse performer has landed her on stages alongside Glen Hansard and U2, with opening slots for Gladys Knight and Mary Black. After showcasing at Folk Alliance International in 2024, she secured an 0-1 Visa to cement her presence stateside. She kicked off 2025 showcasing at Celtic Connections she’s already toured the US and Australia this year. Just back from her 2nd US tour this year, she launched her new show ‘Queer Arrivals’ at Liverpool Irish Festival in Oct 2025. She will kick off 2026 showcasing at FAI in New Orleans before a tour of Australia, including Port Fairy Folk Festival and a return to the US.
Musically, this is similar to some of the best contemporary folk music out there. Solid lyrical stories with intricate vocals and harmonies, it’s just top-notch musicianship. We <3 Music
Beyond her solo work, Gráinne thrives in collaboration working with award winning guitarist Brendan Walsh on Songs from Ireland and Hibsen, a literary folk project who wrote an album based on James Joyce’s „Dubliners”.
„The hardest working woman in Irish music.“ Glen Hansard

HÄUFIG GESTELLTE FRAGEN / FAQ
IS THIS A CONCERT OR DINNER MUSIC?
Quite clearly: concert! With the concerts we want to promote newcomer musicians with their own music, bring new music to the people, eat something good and have a great time with other people. For this to work, you should also listen to the bands at the concert and get involved with the music. This way, the artists are not disturbed in their performance and the other guests are not disturbed while listening – and nothing stands in the way of a unique concert evening for everyone!
FOOD & DRINKS?
The Ruby MOLLY offers a bar with a large selection of drinks at moderate prices. For the small appetite there is a selection of snacks. However, cash payment is not possible.
We want to hear the music! That’s why we kindly ask you to be considerate when ordering drinks. Please order beverages that are noisy to prepare, like coffee or cocktails, before the performance starts or during breaks. You’ll have plenty of time to do so. The artists and the audience will thank you for it!
Why ADMISSION FREE?
We want every person to have access to great live music events. Above all, this should not fail because of money. And that’s why we don’t charge admission to any of our concerts. Of course, we also have to cover our costs and pay fair fees to the musicians for their performances. That’s why we pass around our KÜNSTLERHUT at all our concerts. You are welcome to donate money to the artist in this hat. Of course only if you like it and your situation allows it! This way you can do something good for the artist and for other concert-goers who otherwise would not have enough money to attend concerts. The content of the hat goes 100% to the artists.
