JOE’s Song Of The Day #730 – TOUCAN ‘Gold’

Eric Lalor

TOUCAN

TOUCAN are back with a belter.

TOUCAN are an explosive ten-piece funk-pop band used to blasting out a blend of feel-good, contagiously funky hits. They’ve already made a splash here when they released their debut track.

Leading the group is Irish songwriter Conor Clancy and with a team of top performers from brass to keys behind him, their sold-out shows have proven to be an absolute must-see.

Clancy’s vocals on track are stunning and there are echoes of the rich sultry tones of a certain Hozier to be heard here. It’s a really classy production and should propel this hugely talented ensemble to bigger and better things.

2018 was a hugely successful year for the band. To finish out the year they played only a select handful of dates, including Other Voices, before a fully-fledged Ireland, UK & US tour this year. Their debut headline gig is what will likely be a sell out on 23 March at The Grand Social.

You can find out more about the band via their Facebook page right here.
