A classically-trained pianist, Harrington possesses a clear vibrant tenor, and his vocals have been described as reminiscent of Maroon 5′s Adam Levine, James Blunt and “a grittier Elton John.” His signature “blue-eyed soul” is evident on STORY, for which he composed all of the songs. “…his ‘Story’ CD illustrates the charm and craft that have put Harrington-whose first name is pronounced Owen-at the top of the many observers’ lists of the Bay Area artists,” wrote Shay Quillen in the San JoseMercury News, while Music Connection added “his debut shines with stellar song craft and a distinctive, audience-pleasing artistry.”

Eoin is happy to let others describe his music. “I have a really hard time with that,” he says, “because it’s a combination of all that I’ve been exposed to so far in my life, from Irish traditional to classical to heavy rock to R&B.”

Harrington is enjoying full rotation air play on major stations back in his home country of Ireland, and, in addition to the album, his fans will be treated to several new media products in the coming months. iEoin, a downloadable iPhone application, is available free at the iStore. The iEoin will allow fans to keep up to date on live shows, blog entries, videos and other news on the artist. His website has been redesigned and launched at www.eoinharrington.com
