Biography

Dublin-born singer/songwriter, guitar player & percussionist, Eddie Sherlock, grew up on Dublin’s north-side, surrounded by music and a strong tradition of family performance. A late starter to picking up the guitar, it was in his twenties that he discovered he could sing, after learning a few chords. With that, he took to the ground running, and with his love for Irish ballads and folk music, it wasn’t long before he found himself performing widely on the Dublin pub and session scene. Eddie also soon started to explore and develop his own songwriting and with the help of some friends, embarked on putting together a band called ‘The Rattling Kind’. In 2013, after recording their debut EP ‘Rise Up’, two of Eddie’s songs were used in the soundtrack of the world-wide DVD release of RTE’s hit crime drama ‘Love/Hate’. The band subsequently performed their cult favourite ‘All Around the Town’, also written by Eddie, on the ‘Saturday Night Show Live’ with Brendan O’Connor. Eddie has also performed his original song ‘James Connolly’s Dream’ as part of the James Connolly 2016 centenary for Uachtaran na hEireann, and has appeared with ‘The Rattling Kind’ on Irish TV show ‘Mad for Sam’. Since the release of the EP, Eddie’s songs have been listened to by audiences across the globe, from America to Australia. “King of the Road been a lockdown project success, has now reached 3.7 milllion stream on Spotify, and over 2 million views across social platforms.
