Dublin Soul is a new project put together by keyboardist/ singer/ songwriter Eamonn Flynn and guitarist/ producer Conor Brady.
Eamonn and Conor who both played on the 14 million selling soundtrack of The Commitments movie, reunited last year to play at the Porretta Soul Festival in Italy. Dublin Soul also headlined UniteSF—the post-St. Patrick's Parade celebration in San Francisco—where they were joined by the legendary Glide Ensemble Gospel Choir, and singers Tony Lindsay (Santana) and Omega Rae (Van Morrison). Their set included tributes to two giants of Irish music who had recently passed away: Shane MacGowan and Sinead O'Connor.
Dublin Soul brought the house down at Porretta Soul again in July 2024, along with Commitments singer Andrew Strong. Stay tuned for more shows and guests to be announced.

Eamonn's first professional gig was with Irish soul singer Rob Strong. After recording on the soundtrack of The Commitments and touring worldwide with Rob's son, Andrew Strong, Eamonn moved to San Francisco in 1997. He went on to record and tour with Michael Franti & Spearhead, Evelyn 'Champagne' King, Pink, Elvin Bishop, The Family Stone, H.E.R., Valerie Simpson, Los Lobos, Taj Mahal, Boz Scaggs, Lisa Fischer, Goapele, Michelle Shocked, Pee Wee Ellis, Chris Cain, Anthony Paule Soul Orchestra, Curtis Salgado, Maria Muldaur, Tony Lindsay (Santana), and a decade-long stint with Meters drummer Zigaboo Modeliste. His film and TV work includes original music for The Commitments, Moonlight, Ugly Betty, Brujo, Beached, and Creative High. When he's not touring he can be found playing Gospel organ and piano at San Francisco's legendary Glide Memorial Church. He's released three albums of original songs: 'The Irish Channel', 'Black Coddle' and 'Anywhere But Home' and two solo piano albums: 'King Of The Cats' and 'Meeting Of The Waters'.
Conor began his professional career playing with legendary Irish band The Blades in the mid '80s, as well as recording with international stars Terence Trent d’Arby and Jamaican reggae royalty Toots and the Maytals. He played on the original soundtrack to The Commitments before touring the world with Andrew Strong. He featured as a soloist with George Martin & the RTE Concert Orchestra playing the music of The Beatles. He also toured with The Corrs, appearing on their 'Live at the Royal Albert Hall' album. He has since then performed and recorded with The Rolling Stones, Ronnie Wood, Mary Coughlan, Frances Black, The Devlins, Luan Parle, Juliet Turner, Camille O’Sullivan, Cathy Davey, Bono, Gary Lightbody, Ciara Considine, Sinead O’Connor, Shane McGowan, Jack L, Jerry Fish and the Mudbug Club, and Bronagh Gallagher.
