Ian Lynch (of groundbreaking Irish traditional group Lankum) was also enlisted as the livestream's special guest.
Kerry singer-songwriter Junior Brother is scheduled to perform at the National Concert Hall's 'Imagining Ireland' livesteam series tonight, Tuesday October 20th.
Ronan Kealy will be joined by the charismatic (and social media savvy) pop artist CMAT and Ian Lynch of Lankum for the show, set to start at 8pm tonight.
Junior Brother and CMAT (real name Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson) will play a brand new collaboration at the gig, following the release of CMAT's supremely catchy latest single 'I Wanna Be A Cowboy, Baby!'.
Previous singles 'Rodney' and 'Another Day (kfc)' have garnered excitement for the future of CMAT, and Junior Brother has already created a loyal fanbase thanks to his unmissable live shows and unique brand of Irish storytelling.
