'Rose Dogs & Blackwood Pew' brings together Muireann Bradley's acclaimed 2025 EP 'Rose Dogs' with her new collection 'Blackwood Pew', featuring three new original songs including 'Not Going Back' alongside reimagined classics. Named after the custom Australian Blackwood guitar at the heart of every recording, this double EP captures the timeless folk and country-blues sound of an artist coming into her own.
A blues guitar wunderkind, the 19-year-old draws from a tradition of intricate fingerstyle playing and reshapes it with a rare sense of clarity and ease. What might be technically complex becomes, in her hands, something deeply human; meticulously detailed, elegant, lump-in-your-throat gorgeous compositions that wear their virtuosity lightly. Her astonishing ability to inhabit songs written decades before she was born quickly drew her international attention, leading to acclaimed appearances on Jools Holland's Hootenanny and The Late Late Show, while her debut album 'I Kept These Old Blues' became an instant collector's item, selling out its first pressing.
