JOIN ME IN THE PINES

Songwriter and mul0-instrumentalist David Geraghty is a founding member and driving force behind the band Bell X1. This has included ten albums (four No.1), extensive world tours, as well as opening for acts such as U2 and Ed Sheeran since the band’s incep0on.

Geraghty’s output also includes composing for TV & Film (produc0ons that star Aidan Gillan & Tom Vaughan-Lawlor and which include the hit TV show ‘The Dry’).

Alongside this ac0vity, Geraghty has released a number of solo albums. The debut, ‘Kill Your Darlings’ (2007), was received with cri0cal acclaim and was followed up in 2009 with the equally evoca0ve ‘The Victory Dance’.

2014 marked the first release for Geraghty under the moniker JOIN ME IN THE PINES with an album of brooding dark folk called ‘Inherit’.

The release of ‘Monomania’ in 2019 saw a startling shi_ to a groove-based electro sound that has flashes of Prince, Gary Numan, Peter Gabriel, Nile Rodgers with reviewers commen0ng:

"Geraghty has proven himself a master of melody in the past, but this album confirms that he’s a crackerjack when it comes to groove and soul, too”. "Dismiss this as a side-project at your peril". Lauren Murphy – The Irish Times

“Throughout Monomania, there are flawless falsettos, shimmering synths and rhythms so infectious they could carry their own health warning....It’s seriously impressive.” John Walshe – Hot Press

JMITP have opened for acts such as David Gray and Hall & Oates at Live At The Marquee, Cork and Iveagh Gardens, Dublin.

2025 will see the release of ‘KOMOREBI’, an album where Geraghty added the enriching challenge of mixing, to his writer/producer creden0als. The album ‘Komorebi’ is an exciting development in the crea0ve trajectory of Geraghty and JOIN ME IN THE PINES.
