Dotts O’Connor, once a bright spark in the Choice music-nominated band *Come On Live Long*, has just dropped a fresh track, “Brushing off the Rust.” This lad, originally from the lush fields of Co. Roscommon and now nesting in Co. Cavan, weaves a rich tapestry of alternative Irish folk. His music? A curious concoction of deft guitar fingerpicking and melodies that’ll make your heart do a little jig.
Now, “Brushing off the Rust” isn’t just a tune—it’s a journey. O’Connor’s got a knack for penning down lyrics that hit you right in the feels, paired with instrumentals that’ll sweep you off your feet. It’s like he’s stitched together a quilt of sounds that’s both a cozy blanket and a breath of crisp morning air. The song? It’s a nudge to shake off the cobwebs, to see the wonky beauty in life’s scuffs and scars.
Remember “Coney”? That gem of a song not only turned heads but got itself cozied up on RTE Radio 1’s recommended playlist. And it wasn’t just a one-hit wonder on the airwaves; shows like The John Creedon Show and Folk On One couldn’t get enough of it.
So, fancy a listen to Dotts O’Connor’s latest musical offering? “Brushing off the Rust” is spinning on Spotify, ready to fill your ears with its heartwarming strums and hums.
