RUAIRÍ HURLEY - GUITAR & VOCALS
Born in Dublin, Ireland in 1971, Ruairí Hurley is the youngest of 10 children. Family members like to recount stories of a four-year-old Ruairí sitting at the family piano and sound out familiar tunes by ear. As a teenager he was given an electric guitar, however he had no amplifier. For years he played along with his favorite rock ‘n’ roll records, barely hearing his own guitar, but learning all of his favorite songs. Once he got an amplifier, Ruairí began playing out in bands around Dublin. By day, he was a bookseller at the famous Hodges Figgis bookstore while he worked on his degree from Trinity College, where he majored in the Irish language and religious studies.
In 1995, Ruairí moved to the US where, in the years that followed, he discovered his love for the traditional Irish music of his homeland. Currently Ruairí works for the county library system and continues to study his craft at home in the evenings and in several of Cleveland‘s favorite Irish pubs by night.
