Biography
Fionn Regan is an Irish folk singer-songwriter whose 2006 debut, The End of History, was nominated for the Mercury Prize in the UK, the Shortlist Prize in America, and the Choice Music Prize in his native Ireland. Born in 1981 in Bray, Wicklow, he kicked off his career at 19 years old, recording six independent EPs before partnering with a British label, Bella Union, for The End of History's European release. One year later, Lost Highway Records released the album in America. The End of History was a critical success on both sides of the Atlantic, with Fionn Regan being hailed as a leader of the new folk movement. While touring in support of the album, he wrote many of the songs that appeared on his next record, The Shadow of an Empire, in 2010. He returned to his acoustic roots for 2011's 100 Acres of Sycamore, embraced a lo-fi aesthetic with 2012's The Bunkhouse Vol. 1: Anchor Black Tattoo, experimented with electronic sounds for 2017's The Meetings of the Waters, and played every instrument on 2019's Cala.
