The Laurie McGrath Band
Our story
Laurie McGrath – Vocals and Guitar
Laurie grew up with traditional Irish music in his bones, but it was the great American songwriters that shaped his voice — artists like Townes Van Zandt, Emmylou Harris, and Glen Hansard.
Over time, his music has become a blend of rustic roots, modern Americana, and poetic lyricism. He's played clubs, festivals, and field stages, but every song starts the same way — with a story he needs to tell.
The Laurie McGrath Band brings these songs to life with rich harmonies, cinematic arrangements, and a deep connection to the spirit of folk and country traditions.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
Niamh Rowan – Vocals, Guitar, Keys
Niamh Rowan is the newest spark in The Laurie McGrath Band — a gifted singer, guitarist, and keyboardist whose roots run deep in Irish soil and whose voice carries both tenderness and strength.
Hailing from the west of Ireland, Niamh grew up surrounded by traditional music, poetry, and windswept landscapes. Her sound blends that heritage with a modern Americana sensibility — full of atmosphere, emotional honesty, and quiet fire.
On stage, Niamh brings a magnetic presence, layering harmonies, melodic textures, and subtle dynamics that lift each song into new territory. Whether at the piano or with guitar in hand, her musicianship is both intuitive and finely tuned.
Niamh Rowan is not just a new member — she’s a vital new voice, helping shape the next chapter of the band’s journey.
