Cork Youth Orchestra - TRUE TIDES
True Tides are three Irish brothers Cian, Conor and Eoghan whose guitar driven synthpop brimming with hooks and intricate vocal harmonies made them the most talked about music act in Ireland of the last two years. Their single ‘Survive’ was nominated for an RTÉ Choice Music Prize – Song of the Year 2020 and hit the top 10 Irish radio charts. In 2021 True Tides continued to climb the national radio charts with the release of their euphoric pop banger I Can’t Wait and collaborated with Steve Garrigan of Kodaline to write 2 songs included on international pop giants Westlife’s new album Wild Dreams (alongside songs written by international superstar Ed Sheeran) as well as the new single for Norwegian DJ sensation Matoma which amassed over 1 million streams within 2 weeks of its release. They also worked with Irish legends The Coronas on their single Light Me Up which was included in their chart topping album and was played by Elton John on his weekly digital radio show ‘Rocket Hour’ on Apple Music. The 3 brothers also feature on The Cranberries covers album ‘Salvation’ with their version of Ode To My Family alongside artists such as Sinéad O’Connor and Kodaline and also on ‘The Irish Songbook’ with a version of U2’s One released with the National Concert Hall as part of Ireland Expo Dubai 2020.
They have played the biggest stages across Ireland and supported the likes of Picture This and The Coronas to sold out shows. In 2019 they performed with Cork Youth Orchestra to a sold out Cork City Hall performing fully orchestrated versions of all of their songs. Having just returned from the JJ Abrams hosted Oscar Wilde party in LA as part of Oscars week, True Tides will play another headline show in Cork City Hall with Cork Youth Orchestra on the 21st May 2022 in advance of releasing their brand new single ‘Beating Heart’ on 27th May.
