Dún Briste is not just a place. It’s a symbol. In this powerful, deeply personal song, Dennis McCalmont brings us back to the rugged coast of Mayo, where the colours of the ocean, the shape of the land, and the spirit of family come together in one haunting melody.

NEW TUNE’S OUT NOW!
Joanne Geraghty – My Baby’s Got a Hold on Me 💔🔥

Some songs just hit different and this one from Joanne does exactly that. Straight from the heart, recorded live in our cosy little spot in during WA Studios Unplugged, a Wild Atlantic Studios production made with love (and serious sound) here on the west coast.

Joanne Geraghty vocals are unreal in this one. Raw, honest, and proper powerful. And we’re mad proud of our local crew too: Malschoons worked his magic on sound, Dan Lateral captures the vibe and emotion on camera, Steffen Ritter mixes whatever madness comes through the monitors, Lea Deborah Grimm keeps an eye on all the magic happening offstage and Diana Murtagh kept the vibes high as host.

💥 Our goal? To give Ireland’s independent artists a global stage on Twitch.
💜 Your help? Give it a listen, drop a comment, share it on, it really makes a difference.

Dennis McCalmont – DNA (Waiting for the Thunder) 🎤⚡

It wasn’t the first song he played that day –
but it’s the first one we had to share. Because when Dennis sings this one... you feel it. Right in your chest.

That voice – raw, real, full of soul.
He’s got a sound that calls to mind the greats like Bryan Adams, Sting or Rod Stewart, but make no mistake: this is Dennis McCalmont through and through.

"DNA (Waiting for the Thunder)" is the first release from his WA Studios Unplugged session – and it’s only the beginning.

🎧 Stick on the kettle, sit back and give it a listen – it’s up now on YouTube.

Dennis McCalmont – DNA (Waiting for the Thunder) 🎤⚡

Ní hé seo an chéad amhrán a sheinn sé an lá sin –
ach is é an chéad cheann a bhí orainn a roinnt libh.
Mar nuair a chanann Dennis an ceann seo... mothaíonn tú é go smior.

An guth sin – amh, fíor, lán le hanam.
Tá fuaim aige a chuireann na gaiscígh i gcuimhne dúinn – Bryan Adams, Sting, nó Rod Stewart – ach ná déan dearmad: is é seo Dennis McCalmont glan amach.

"DNA (Waiting for the Thunder)" an chéad rian óna sheisiún ag WA Studios Unplugged – agus níl anseo ach an tús.

🎧 Cuir an citeal air, lig do scíth, agus éist leis – tá sé beo anois ar YouTube!
