Ciaran Lavery / Alex2e

Ciaran Lavery is an award-winning singer-songwriter from Aghagallon, a small village in northern Ireland, with a knack for poetic, heart-stopping lyrics. Lavery earned the Northern Ireland Music Prize for his 2016 album Let Bad In and has accumulated more than 80 million streams on Spotify during his five-year solo career.

He recorded his new album, Sweet Decay, at Camden Studios in Dublin. The songs are full of questions, but don’t often offer answers. You can hear a man struggling with personal growth on this record. “I acknowledge the darkness inside of me, one that has the potential to let people down and make the wrong decisions,” he says. With Sweet Decay, Lavery will head out on his biggest tour to date across Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States, Ireland, and Canada.

Alex2e (actual name Alex Tuohey) is a self-taught singer/songwriter from Western Massachusetts. More importantly, Alex2e is a storyteller. In 2012, while recovering from a major surgery and desperate for reprieve, he picked up his sister's beat up guitar and started writing. Words became lyrics, days became months and bathroom video covers turned into gigs. Fast forward to today and his leaps can be measured in dog years.

In June 2017, his debut ep 'Strange Company' landed in the top 10 albums on iTunes singer/songwriter chart. His new single "Bring Out the Ghost" starts a new journey, honing his alternative/acoustic sound for a new ep titled "Half-Grown", due out in late 2018. He has traveled across the country, playing to audiences small and large, while becoming a seasoned troubadour in his own right. Averaging roughly 130+ dates a year, supporting national acts such as Tyler Hilton, Griffin House, Shawn James, O-Town, Casey Abrams and Zac Brown Band alum Levi Lowrey, among others, he has proven himself as a true musician, just beginning to make his mark.
