Joe Kenny returns with his powerful new single ‘Don’t Close Me Out’, released on 4 March 2026. The track offers the first glimpse of his forthcoming five‑track EP ‘Time Will Tell’, signalling a bold new chapter for the rising Irish artist.
Following the success of his 2021 debut EP Perfect Fool, Joe Kenny’s new material builds on the emotional clarity and lyrical honesty that have become his signature. With ‘Don’t Close Me Out’, he leans into a richer, more expansive sound while preserving the intimacy at the heart of his songwriting.
Released in September2021, Joe Kenny’s debut EP ‘Perfect Fool’ landed hot on the heels of Joe’s first two singles, Chasing A Dream and I’m All At Sea.
Described as his lockdown labour of love, Joe has taken his passion for Irish Folk music and blended this into a more contemporary sound that could be said to echo musical flavours that include John Martin, U2 and Snow Patrol to name but a few.
