Dublin songwriter Aaron Rowe has launched his debut single, 'Hey Ma,' on May 23, 2025, to considerable buzz. The track blends folk elements with a contemporary sensibility, featuring acoustic guitar and fiddle, while exploring personal themes.
'Hey Ma' is an ode to Rowe's mother and his hometown of Monkstown Farm. The lyrics delve into distance, identity, and familial love, painting a vivid picture of working-class life. Critics are already praising the song, with some calling it a future classic.
Rowe is set to support the Zac Brown Band on their Australian tour in October 2025. He will also be opening for Zach Bryan in Hyde Park on June 28. Rowe's appearances follow support from Lewis Capaldi and Ed Sheeran, who invited Rowe onstage at a St. Patrick's Day show in Boston.
