Vocalist and songwriter Cormac Kenevey was born in Dublin and introduced to jazz at a very early age by his pianist father. He took early influence from recordings of Mel Tormé, Peggy Lee and Mark Murphy amongst many others. Though still in his twenties, his mature delivery and heartfelt interpretations display a great regard for those artists whom he cites as major vocal heros, while achieving his own personal style. Cormac began studying classical clarinet at the age of 12 and was subsequently involved in many ensembles as a clarinettist including the Royal Irish Academy of Music Symphony Orchestra. Later, at University (while pursuing a degree in geography and archaeology) he became director and conductor of the University College Dublin Concert Band. He also played drums and sang with the Dublin pop/rock band Milestone.
He performs regularly across Ireland and the UK with his band. He has been a favourite at the Cork Jazz Festival (Ireland), the Marbella Jazz Festival (Spain), has appeared on national radio in Ireland and the UK and sold out critically acclaimed shows at Pizza Express Jazz Club in London amongst many others.
