Brownie Guinan is an Offaly-based songsmith who has been performing in various guises across Ireland, with occasional forays overseas, since around the time of Seamus Darby’s famous goal!

​Brownie has performed with a plethora of combos. His illustrious CV includes (non)household names from Dismal Swamp, The Strong are Lonely, Na Síog, The Honeybears, Stars on P45, Whitegrass, Seven Shook Men, The Groomsmen, to The Briar Hotel Big Band to name but a few!

In 2008 his debut solo album of self-penned songs Anything Is Impossible garnered significant airplay for an independent release and was widely acclaimed by those what know about these matters!

His 'Peat Sounds' album was released in 2022. It is a collection of eleven tracks which include Brownie's own writings and some songs from the local archives which are given a new lease of life. The songs vary from the smooth opening track Shannon Harbour Home to the pop classic That’s Your Mouldboard Baby and the closing odyssey, The Town of Ferbane, a fantastical homage to his hometown. In between the album moves from the sublime to the ridiculous with consummate ease. It is by turns witty, wistful and wicked. 

Recorded and produced at Shed Studios under the guidance of Des Sheerin alongside a gallery of top notch musicians over a two year period the result is a triumph for patience and perseverance! Forty five minutes of listening seldom goes so swiftly!
