You'll love this acoustic ballad! It raised the hairs on our arms! He masters his voice to perfection.” - Changing of a Season, Son of Loughlin.

Son of Loughlin

Irish Singer-Songwriter

A Native of Navan, Ireland, residing in Vienna, Austria, singer and songwriter, Padraig McLoughlin, aka Son of Loughlin, has been described as a 'captivating performer and songwriter', who has played to crowds across Ireland, Europe, and the U.K. 

 

Deriving from the traditional Gaelic origins of his surname, with the ‘Mc’ translating to "Son of", the moniker came about due to countless failed pronunciation attempts of his given name, Padraig (Paw-rick), throughout his travels. The pronunciation of Loughlin, however, can still pose a challenge for many outside of the Emerald Isle! (Lock-lin!) 

Reflecting on songwriting, he says, ‘‘Whether the love of crafting melodies and structuring the song or deciphering the meaning from those seemingly cryptic lyrics that can sometimes sprout out of the unconscious throughout the process, I find incredible catharsis in the wonderment of songwriting. It offers me a purpose and satisfaction that few other endeavors can give’’.

Four songs have been recorded and set for release in 2024. They will encompass an EP, with the first track set for March this year. It will feature a song about his hometown, one about estrangement, the other difficult to define, and referencing the wonderment of new beginnings and moving on. 

Son of Loughlin writes honest songs - from the heart of a sensitive soul unafraid to tell his truth. His music imbues feelings of melancholic optimism and resonates through memorable, poignant lyrics. Well-crafted stanzas, catchy hooks, and a distinct and powerful voice shape the listening experience.
