Irish artist, Dave Rooney, has one of the most amazing raw voices my ears have ever experienced. Truly, listening to this folk artist has created a milestone in my life.

The way Rooney explores the depth of his voice and uses it to convey the emotions hidden in his lyrics is a talent within itself, not to mention he can play guitar while singing, which is something not a lot of people can do. The album, This is My Home, is Rooney’s debut album.

Rooney plays guitar and bass, and has actually co-written songs for other Irish singers.

Singers such as Rooney are the reason why I keep listening to music. You will uncover such a gem in the music industry like Rooney very rarely. His voice is just spectacular and his delivery is unsurpassed by many artists on the radio today. It’s like he’s personally singing to his fans.

Rooney is also a part of the George Murphy band and is an avid performer at bars around Ireland.

Rooney’s song “This is My Home” is definitely my favorite off his album. You can look for this album and his second album called “If It Ain’t Broke” on iTunes.
