Experience Tara Clerkin Trio

Tara Clerkin Trio is a critically acclaimed Irish jazz ensemble led by pianist and composer Tara Clerkin. Formed in Dublin around 2016, the trio features Cliodhna Ní Dhubhda on bass and Eimear O’Riordan on drums, establishing a unique voice within the contemporary jazz scene.

Clerkin’s compositions are characterized by intricate arrangements, blending post-bop sensibilities with elements of free improvisation and Irish traditional music influences – notably reflected in their use of ornamentation and melodic phrasing. They released their self-titled debut album in 2018, garnering praise for its adventurous spirit and technical prowess.

Their second album, *Féile* (2022), released on Diatribe Records, further solidified their reputation, receiving widespread acclaim from publications like The Wire and Jazzwise. *Féile* was nominated for the RTÉ Radio 1 Music Awards 'Jazz Album of the Year' in 2023. The trio frequently performs at prominent jazz festivals across Europe, including Moers Festival (Germany) and 12 Points Festival. They are known for dynamic live performances showcasing both composed material and spontaneous interplay.
