Born and raised in Bangor, Northern Ireland, Foy came to wider public attention in 2005 with the release of his debut EP, and then to a larger audience still when two of his songs were featured on the hit US TV show Grey's Anatomy.
With his distinctively cracked, soulful voice and a skill of writing profound storytelling songs, he is loved by audiences and fellow artists alike. He's been personally invited to support the likes of KT Tunstall, Bonnie Rait and Dave Matthews, and has played alongside Pete Townsend and Martha Wainwright.
