A new album has been released showcasing some of the musical talents based in Arklow and the surrounding areas. Shoreline is a collaboration between local musicians and Release Wellness. The project aimed to highlight some of Arklow s creativity to support local musicians impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Each artist involved performed an original piece in an unplugged style.
16 musicians collaborated on the online album, which is available on the Bandcamp website. Shoreline was produced by Tristan Howurd.
A virtual launch event for the album was held before Christmas, 11 of the 16 performers featured on the album took part in the socially distanced launch event. These included James Reid, Mary Graham, Breda McDonald, Tommy and John Breen. There was a fantastic response to the virtual launch, which was held on Facebook Live.
