Muireann Bradley
18-year-old blues sensation Muireann Bradley, a remarkable talent hailing from the small town of Ballybofey in County Donegal, Ireland, signs with Decca Records/Verve Forecast to re-release her acclaimed debut album, I Kept These Old Blues, on 28th February 2025.
Bradley’s journey from playing in her bedroom to performing on Jools Holland’s Hootenanny this year has captivated audiences, establishing her as one of Ireland’s brightest emerging stars. Now she is poised for a global breakout.
Her newly remastered album will also feature previously unheard track ‘When The Levee Breaks’, which Muireann performed on The Late Late Show and wowed her fellow guests, Oscar and Golden Globe-nominated actors Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott (see the performance and interview here). Speaking about the track, Muireann says, “Originally recorded in 1929 by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy, ‘When The Levee Breaks’ is probably my favourite tune to perform live. Memphis Minnie is one of my biggest heroes, and I love her guitar picking on that record. My arrangement is a tribute to another one of my heroes, the great Philadelphia pre-war blues revivalist and teacher Ari Eisinger, who has been one of the biggest influences on my playing."
Muireann’s signing with Decca Records solidifies her place as a torch-bearer for the new generation of blues, paying homage to the genre’s history while bringing her own fresh perspective to the stage.
