IRISH SINGER RITCHIE REMO Releases His First Single in the US, ‘HILLS OF CONNEMARA’
Ritchie Remo breathes new life into Irish classic ‘Hills of Connemara.’
There’s a chase through the mountains, laughter in the air and music echoing off the green hills that’s the spirit of ‘Hills of Connemara’, Ritchie Remo’s latest release, bringing one of Ireland’s most iconic folk songs to a whole new audience.
Ritchie Remo is an acclaimed Irish country music artist who has captivated audiences across Ireland, the UK, and internationally with his unique blend of traditional Irish music and contemporary country sounds. Ritchie’s musical journey began at 12 years old with guitar and then learning the fiddle at 14.. After years of honing his craft, his debut album drew critical attention and set the stage for a career of chart success, international touring, and crowd-pleasing live shows.
With exceptional skill on the fiddle and guitar, Ritchie creates performances that celebrate Ireland’s rich musical heritage while engaging audiences of all backgrounds. His dynamic shows range from uplifting reels and jigs to beloved Irish classics—all delivered with unmistakable energy and passion.
This foot-stomping anthem ‘Hills of Connemara’ tells the tale of Ireland’s most daring moonshiners, brewing their secret poteen, a fiery, forbidden spirit, deep in the wilds of Connemara, while outsmarting the excise men in a cat-and-mouse race across the boglands. Poteen wasn’t just a drink; it was a symbol of Irish defiance, resourcefulness, and pride. Ritchie’s fresh rendition captures that wild energy with his trademark Country-Celtic fusion, a driving beat, soaring fiddle lines, and a wink of Irish mischief that will have listeners raising a glass and singing along
Ritchie Remo says, ““Hills of Connemara is more than a song; it’s a celebration of Irish spirit, community, and joy. Sharing it with the American audience feels special because so many of us are connected through music, migration, and shared stories. I hope this song brings a little bit of Ireland to every heart that hears it.”
