      Irish songwriter Aaron Rowe marks his debut with the new single 'Hey Ma,' which has the potential to become a future classic.

      For some time now, whispers about the talented performer have circulated in select circles, as he possesses a significant presence and a passion for expression. Originating from Dublin's Southside, Aaron Rowe has been known in his local scene, allowing excitement to build organically.

      Released now, 'Hey Ma' serves as his first official single, and it is nothing short of exceptional – a track that feels instantly recognizable from the very first note, yet Rowe manages to present it in a fresh light.

      A song that resonates immediately, 'Hey Ma' showcases folk elements – with acoustic guitar chords and a soaring fiddle line – while diverging from traditional sounds to explore something more specific.

      A tribute to his mother and the community of Monkstown Farm, ‘Hey Ma’ reflects on themes of distance, identity, and family love. He expresses…

      “And down here no one’s special, / And they’d kill if you tried, / But they’d help you in a heartbeat, / And if they couldn’t stop you bleeding, / They’d die there by your side…”

      With a Lowry-like depiction of working-class life, ‘Hey Ma’ seems poised for a broad journey – listen now.
