Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist David Geraghty is a founding member of Bell X1, one of Ireland's most acclaimed bands. Over the course of ten albums — including four No.1 releases — Geraghty has helped shape the group's distinctive sound, touring extensively across the world and sharing stages with U2 and Ed Sheeran.
Beyond Bell X1, Geraghty has built an impressive career as a composer for film and television, contributing scores to productions featuring Aidan Gillen and Tom Vaughan-Lawlor, including the acclaimed series The Dry.
His solo journey began with the critically acclaimed Kill Your Darlings (2007), followed by The Victory Dance (2009). Later, under the moniker Join Me in the Pines, Geraghty explored darker folk tones on Inherit (2014) and ventured into groove-driven electro-pop with Monomania (2019). The Irish Times praised the latter, noting:
"Geraghty has proven himself a master of melody in the past, but this album confirms he's a crackerjack when it comes to groove and soul too."
Hot Press added: "Flawless falsettos, shimmering synths and rhythms so infectious they could carry their own health warning… seriously impressive."
Geraghty has also supported major artists including David Gray and Hall & Oates at Live at the Marquee and Iveagh Gardens.
Now returning to his own name, David Geraghty embarks on an exciting new chapter with the upcoming album KOMOREBI, due for release in 2026 — marking yet another evolution in his ever-creative journey.
