Allie Sherlock at Monroe's Live

What to Expect

Allie Sherlock is a Cork born singer who first built an audience busking on the street as a young teenager, first around Cork city and later on Dublin’s Grafton Street, filmed covers that spread widely online and turned her into one of Ireland’s better known young musical exports before she had finished school. That online following led to a move to Los Angeles, a record deal, and a shift from pure covers toward original material, though her live sets still tend to mix her own songs with the pop and folk covers that made her name in the first place. Expect an acoustic guitar led show, a strong, distinctive voice, and a set that plays to an audience who likely first encountered her through a phone screen rather than a stage, which makes a proper room like Monroe’s Live a different kind of experience entirely. It is a relatively intimate booking for an artist with her level of online reach, so expect a packed room.
