Biography

I Have a Tribe is Irishman Patrick O'Laoghaire's home for his piano-driven songs. There is an elemental, instinctive nature to his work. He recently joined CARM to open for Bon Iver in Wembley Arena and Dublin's 3 Arena. Previously he has toured with Anna Calvi, Lisa Hannigan and Villagers. I Have a Tribe's offering is mixture of something very deep and honest with something very generous and playful. There is within his songs a vibration with the potential to unfold itself around any hour of the day. It is music to host as a soundtrack in our homes, in our lives, in our most vulnerable moments. His work has an organic, three-dimensional quality that lends it a rarely found sincerity; his songs are, at times, fragile … then it expands, careering forward and unfolding an unforeseen energy. -Other Voices
