How I Became A Wave

Unitarian Church, Friday 17th April

How I Became A Wave is the new musical vehicle of Pat Carey, formerly of the acclaimed Irish indie band, The Hard Ground. Blending literary and natural world influences with lush strings, saxophone and pedal steel, the music of How I Became A Wave speaks to the soul through considered lyrics and quietly rousing melodies.

Drawing inspiration from writers like Mary Oliver, Eavan Boland, Max Porter, Sylvia Plath, Seamus Heaney, Doireann Ní Ghríofa and Sara Baume, and musical influences such as Paul Buchanan, Bon Iver, Big Thief, Nils Frahm and Anaïs Mitchell, How I Became A Wave reflects on love, loss and the quiet significance of everyday moments.

With the release of a debut album set for early 2026, How I Became A Wave is a powerful new voice in Irish music.
