Derry-based songwriter roe is an emotional car crash with free will and an impulse to write. A resident of genre purgatory, roe’s influences span from Irish to American artists like Orla Gartland, Medium Build and Rainbow Kitten Surprise that don’t quite fit the mold.
From a very early age she has captured her inner monologue and projected it on a global scale. Through live performances at Reeperbahn, SXSW, a UK arena run supporting Snow Patrol and through various placements such as in Tig Notaro’s ‘Am I OK?’, she has connected with audiences all over the world.
Her 2022 debut album ‘That’s When The Panic Sets In’ was called “an exceptionally sophisticated succession of confessional songs” by The Irish Times. Everything since has been made without a label or publisher, on her own terms and with a small, dedicated team around her.
‘LOST DOG!’ arrives on the back of a run of independently released singles that began in September 2025, including ‘The Moment’s Gone’, ‘Lydia’, ‘Bucketlist (apocalypse song)’ and ‘Adrenaline’, each of which drew editorial and radio support across Ireland and the UK.
