No Sailor
No Sailor
No Sailor is American singer-songwriter Kieran Garvey and his five-piece folk band. Their fun and classical approach to folk has been described as "heartwarming and authentic” and "destined for the stages of Newport Folk Festival.” Their captivating live show has earned them comparisons to The Head And The Heart, and The Lumineers. Garvey’s earnest songwriting, paired with a semi-classical band, has a profound way of playing on your heart strings. From the exuberance of ‘Rock, Paper, Scissors,’ to the melancholic strings on ‘Wedding Cake,’ their songs arc from euphoric folk rock to confessional orchestral ballads.
