Deetrich

Deetrich writes melodic songs that draw from old rock and roll and country but adds a pop sensibility.

Dee Doyle a.k.a. ‘Deetrich’, former lead singer and songwriter of Kilkenny band Dali has spread her wings and embarked on a promising solo career since signing to Reekus Records. Her debut album ‘Tug of War’ was released amid glowing reviews from national and regional media. The album was recorded in The Barn studios, Kilkenny with producer Leo Pearson (U2, David Holmes, R.S.A.G) at the helm.

Her first release on Reekus was the very topical ‘No Job, No Money’ which was released in November 2011. The follow-up single ‘Bent Out Of Shape’ was chosen by KCLR FM as their single of the week while several tracks are proving favourites on national stations including RTé.

Dee has been captivating audiences with her live performances since 2006 and over the years has supported such great acts as the late John Martyn, Wallis Bird, Republic of Loose, Cathy Davey, Gemma Hayes and Gavin Glass. Recently She was invited to play at The John Martyn Festival and The National Gallery Of Ireland as well as appearing at various festivals around the country.
