Lara Fitzsimons is an emerging Irish artist hailing from the Northside of The Liffey. Drawing inspiration from the sound of alternative 90s with a modern Irish edge. Lara’s music is both high energy and emotionally charged. With years of experience writing and performing, she strives to create music that speaks to both the heart and the soul.
Lara’s lyrics speak about her experiences growing up and falling in and out of love in the city she calls home. Her music is a celebration of youth and being at the start of your life.
“I take huge inspiration from the theatre world when I write my music or play a gig because it has been my passion since I was really young and I was always going to want to combine that with my music. I want my performances to make people feel something and give people an escape: a few laughs, a few tears and an aul boogie”.
From humble beginnings, Lara started her musical journey playing school concerts and open mic nights across Dublin with nothing more than her pink sparkly childhood guitar. It was during those intimate, raw performances that she discovered the magic of connecting with an audience. Since then, she has come a long way, earning spots on some of the most iconic stages including Trafalgar Square London, Whelans main stage, ‘Three Ireland’ City Stages and not to mention selling out both single release shows just 24 hours after the release.
There's so much to be said for just putting yourself out there. Whether there are 3 people or 30 people in a room listening, it's so important to just go for what you want. It's a really exciting thing to feel yourself growing as a writer or an artist, you have to do it for yourself.
