Who we are

Two gigging musicians.
One honest podcast.

Sound but Broke was born out of the real experience of being a working musician in Ireland β€” the late nights, the dodgy PAs, the no-shows, and the moments that remind you why you do it.

We spotlight original Irish artists, shine a light on small Irish music companies, and give a platform to the grassroots community that the mainstream often overlooks.

Dan Egan

Gigging guitarist and vocalist performing covers of Irish classics and international pop across Offaly, Tipperary, Limerick and Clare. Every pub has a story β€” Dan has them all.
πŸ“ Midlands & Munster
Aaron Fitzpatrick
