Kingfishr

On August 16, 2026 at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, Kingfishr bring their understated Irish folk‑indie blend to the stage. Formed in Limerick during their university years, the trio unites singer‑guitarist Eddie Keogh with bandmates McGoo and Fitz. Their songwriting sits between melodic folk and a lean alternative rock edge, with indie‑pop touches that open into roomy choruses. Acoustic guitars lead the way, percussion stays sparse, and vocal harmonies carry lyrics about landscapes, family ties and that slow shift into adulthood.

The group first surfaced by sharing tracks online before rolling out singles like Flowers-Fire and Anyway, which set the tone with gradual builds and clean, singable hooks. On the road across Ireland and the UK, they moved from small rooms to festival slots, tightening an approach that stays direct and unadorned. Live, the focus is on dynamics and melody: quiet verses that make space, then a lift that lands without fuss. In Vancouver, expect a set that traces their catalog single by single, with the trio’s harmonies upfront and the acoustic pulse doing the heavy lifting.
