Roamer

The best of Irish improvising talent, Roamer combines four outstanding artists who have individually built acclaimed international careers. Each “roamer” has represented Ireland extensively on stages around the world, and combined are a powerful force of innovation and talent. 

Vocalist Lauren Kinsella has been Jazz FM UK Vocalist of the Year; saxophonist Matthew Halpin was the first Irish musician to receive the presidential scholarship to study at the prestigious Berklee College of Music; Simon Jermyn is one of the most in-demand creative music bassists in New York, and drummer Matthew Jacobson tours Ireland and Europe frequently with many leading improvising musicians and ensembles.
