Shane Kelly Lester is an emerging Irish musician and composer writing acoustic, lyric-based songs. His 2019 debut album “In one fell swoop…” is a rhythmic exploration into the themes of childhood, belonging, folly, and renewal. Its counterpart release “The Attic” is a softer LP.

A recent review by Nialler9 states: “A sprawling acoustic folk track from Dublin native Shane Kelly Lester. ‘The Attic’ is the title track from the folk artist’s new LP.
The careful application of dissonance and tension helps the music create its own narrative beats, working in tandem with Lester’s poetic diction. The hushed vocals have a hint of Nick Drake in them somewhere. A perfect example of how creative a pairing an acoustic guitar and a voice can be.” – Nialler9 (April 2019).
