Pio Hartnett is a singer-songwriter and producer from Galway. His sound blends folk, pop, indie and can be identified by his intricate harmonies, distinctive voice and poignant lyrics. His live sets are intimate no matter how big the crowd - he is an artist that is truly capturing people's hearts, with listeners from Ireland to Canada to Japan.

With a BIMM Diploma in Modern Music (specialising in songwriting) under his belt, Pio has a real knack for relatable songs which have been described so far as dazzling, cinematic and heartfelt. Fans of Ben Howard, Matt Corby and David Keenan will love Pio's ability to bounce from haunting soundscapes to feel good acoustic songs. Having already collaborated with acclaimed artists in the Irish and UK R&B scene, received impressive media coverage and with his latest single, 'Will you be back before dark?', receiving 20k+ streams and counting, the future looks bright for Pio.

On 18th April 2023, for the first time ever, Pio will be unveiling his debut EP. Never one to do things by halves, Pio and his friends will perform the highly anticipated 9-track EP in its entirety, complete with a full band, featuring vocalists, violins, and more.

Supporting Pio on the night will be Mullingar native Ellen Sleator, performing with her acclaimed band. Ever impossible to put in a box, her dreamy vocals and ethereal songwriting chart a path through R&B, pop, indie and melodic rap. Her captivating sound has seen her gain the attention of The Academic, with whom she recently finished touring as their selected opening act.
