Folk music from Per Ploug

Originally hailing from Denmark, now based in Dalkey in Ireland, Per Ploug is a singer-songwriter making his own brand of timeless folk music. Influenced by both classic and modern songwriters and artists from both sides of the Atlantic including Gordon Lightfoot, Tracy Chapman, Genesis, Bruce Springsteen, Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell, Darden Smith and Brandi Carlile, he also looks to local inspirations from the likes of Christy Moore, Emma Langford and Glen Hansard when writing his own music.

Covering personal and universally relatable themes in his songwriting, he’s draws on a variety of his life experiences to craft intimate and elegant storytelling lyrics. Last year, he finally found the courage to have one of his original compositions produced, linking up with Eoin Mulcahy to bring his artistic vision to life.

With his debut single, he shared the song “Won’t Be Lost With You”, which he followed up with “The White Linen Coast” and “When December Comes Around”, showcasing his beautiful songwriting and graceful vocal work. Now he brings us his fourth single and first release of 2022 with the new track titled “Left To Bleed”.

Once again delivering a stunning folk style soundscape with a delicate acoustic arrangement of guitar, strings and subtle percussion, “Left To Bleed” features the artist’s charming vocal work to create a dazzling modern folk masterpiece as he continues to release enduring music.
