WHAT IT IS: Dublin-raised singer-songwriter Aaron Rowe is quickly building momentum in his first full year as a recording artist. Having performed more than 100 shows across North America, Australia, New Zealand and Europe, including support slots for Sam Fender, Dermot Kennedy and Lewis Capaldi, Rowe has steadily expanded his audience onstage and online. A standout set before a packed 10,000-capacity tent at Ireland’s Electric Picnic marked another milestone, while his last two singles helped attract 450k new social followers in just three months. His latest release, “Painter (Double-Edged Sword),” arrives ahead of a new EP this winter and his biggest U.K. and Ireland headline tour to date, kicking off in November.
