We're bringing you a selection of the homegrown acts primed for a major breakthrough in 2022...

TOUR ALASKA

Initially starting out as a means for erstwhile A Plastic Rose frontman Gerry Norman to blow off some creative steam, Tour Alaska has really blossomed during the lockdown era. Trading Marshall stacks for a subtler, folk-informed approach, fans of Glen Hansard will adore the Sligo-bred artist’s heart-on-sleeve anthems. The recently released album New Ways For Us To Fall features some of his most arresting music yet.
