SHY MASCOT
Drawing influence from artists such as The Fugees, Weather Report, and Lianne LaHavas, Shy Mascot’s music lives in a realm where complex jazz harmony, free flowing melody and interlocking grooves meet. Varying between boisterous, fast-paced songs to minimalist, spaced-out jams, the band has performed at a range of venues around Ireland. From the intimate setting of the curated sofa sessions in Kilkenny to the rowdy, rain-soaked grounds of Knockanstockan, Shy Mascot are notorious for their ability to impress audiences in any setting.
The rhythm section, led by Keith Tobin, act as a dynamic improvisational trio, and lay the perfect foundation for both Jamel’s fast-paced, hypnotic raps, and Fiadh Rua Gregg’s soulful vocals. The end result is a versatile quintet that weaves between melodious, ethereal spaces, and deep, filthy grooves guaranteed to get you moving!
