Albums, singles & EPs
Brendan has written and produced two albums prior to his appearance on The Voice of Ireland. He released his debut solo album To Where I Begin on November 14 2014, following its lead single Sweet Love. He promoted the song by performing on The Late Late Show on October 31 2014, its release date. The album's second single Safe and Well was released on April 10 2015. The song was promoted with a performance on The Voice Of Ireland on April 12 2015.
Brendan began work on his second studio album in early 2015, working with songwriters such as Don Mescall. Throughout 2015 he released numerous original songs to his Soundcloud account to coincide with his gigs in the UK & Ireland. However, a follow up album to To Where I Begin has not been officially released.
McCahey announced on May 24 2016 via Instagram that a new EP titled Too Tight would be released towards the end of June. To coincide with this announcement, a demo of a song titled Guide You Through was released to his Soundcloud account. McCahey also announced that he would upload even more songs to iTunes that year. After much delay, the EP was released in June 2017.
McCahey is continuously gigging as a solo artist and, from time to time, as part of his country group, The Goodgollys. He also continues to upload cover versions of his favourite songs to his Soundcloud account, while still creating original music in the background.
