Rea Garvey

Rea Garvey is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Reamonn. Those roots explain a lot about how Rea Garvey arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Stanfour, Milow, James Blunt, OneRepublic and The Score, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Nelly Furtado, Mary J. Blige, ATB, Xavier Naidoo and Paul van Dyk, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 27 connections around Rea Garvey, reaching back through Reamonn and forward to Nelly Furtado.

Background

Raymond "Rea" Michael Garvey is an Irish singer, songwriter and guitarist based in Germany. In 1998, he formed the band Reamonn. Over the 11 years that Garvey was their frontman, they saw chart-topping success in Europe, with a number of gold and platinum selling albums, Tuesday, Dream No. 7, Beautiful Sky, Wish and Eleven and several sold out European tours. In 2010, after the release of the band's best-of album/DVD Eleven, and a best-of tour, the band parted ways. Garvey took this time to pursue a solo career, which gave birth to his first solo album Can't Stand the Silence in 2011. This album saw Garvey's transition from anthem rock with Reamonn, to alternative electro-pop.
