The Breath – guitarist Stuart McCallum (The Cinematic Orchestra) and singer/flautist Ríoghnach Connolly (RTÉ Best Folk Singer 2025) – craft a contemporary blend of alt-folk with raw, heartfelt storytelling. Since forming in 2016, their music has explored themes from childhood and first love to cultural loss and post-colonial injustice. Ríoghnach’s powerful, soulful voice paired with Stuart’s understated guitar brilliance creates an intimate yet expansive sound. Their latest album, Land of My Other (2023), is a stunning collection of acoustic songs that stir and soothe in equal measure.
Join us at Juniper Barn to catch The Breath live!
“An affecting blend... McCallum provides the grandeur and artifice and Connolly the intimacy and purity.”
