dara dubh

Dara Dubh is an alternative folk singer-songwriter and harpist, originally from Ballycastle (Northern Ireland) and now based in Edinburgh (Scotland). Her songs sit somewhere between heartfelt confession and a good kick up the road, and she plays the harp like it was never meant to stay in the corner. Folk roots, alternative and blues influences, and a sharp emotional edge.

She is a SAMA Best Newcomer nominee, one of the JBL and Martin Garrix Music Academy's top 10 UK artists, and No. 57 in The List's Hot 100. Her 2024 EP reached a wider audience and a collaborative EP in 2025 pushed the sound further. Her debut album is due in late 2026.

Live, she has toured across the UK and Italy with a run of sold-out shows in Scotland, Ireland and Italy. She works as a solo show or with band, so the show can scale from an intimate room to a festival stage.

"Throughout her already decorated career, Dara Dubh has blazed the kind of trail no artist can follow without resorting to total assimilation." A&R Factory
