25-year-old artist Mayo-native Seán Joyce, now based in Dublin, will release his new single 'Towers' tomorrow Friday, March 27.
The intimate acoustic-led track explores themes of growing up, masculinity and relationships, drawing heavily on his upbringing on a Mayo farm.
The track is described as an intimate, acoustic-led song exploring themes of growing up, masculinity and relationships, with Joyce’s upbringing on a Mayo farm playing a central role in shaping both the sound and visuals of the project.
