Having only picked up guitar at the relatively late age of 18, Alan Tully was quick to immerse himself in folk, country and blues traditions. Trying his hand at live performances in Lyon, France; he entertained crowds in an Irish pub for several months but eventually found he wanted to do more than covers and began experimenting with songs of his own.

After a period of working on original material Tully became a live performer in Dublin at the end of 2005. Since then he has graced many of the city’s stages including Whelans, Bewleys Cafe Theatre, The Sugar Club and Crawdaddy among others. Often found supporting local talents such as Tadhg Cooke, Colm Quearney, Matt Lunson and Readers Wives, his songs fuse narrative storytelling and universal themes with a number of acoustic styles and rhythms guaranteed to get the foot a-tappin’ and the head to thinkin’.
