Mike Macks Bruised Orange are delighted to announce our Launch Night at The Newgrange Hotel, Navan, Co. Meath on the 7th October 2022. Special guests on the night Matt Leavy & Ray Murtagh.

Bruised Orange is Irelands premier John Prine Tribute band. Boasting some of Meath’s most experienced gigging musicians the band is made up of Michael ‘Mike Mack’ McGarry (Rhythm Guitar & Vocals), Anthony Toby Cregan (Lead Guitar, Vocals), Derek Matthews (Bass & Vocals) James Quinn (Keyboards) and Shay Carry (Percussion). Each member brings a unique set of talents and abilities to the group which provides for a unique live John Prine experience. 

The show is fronted by Mike Mack McGarry who accurately reflects John's vocal range with similar ease of delivery, an affected twang and drawl; which thrive of a peculiar, domestic relation to country, folk, rhythm and blues. His storytelling and short antidotes are also a testament to a Bruised Orange live show, Lead guitarist Anthony Toby Cregan is one of Irelands most revered guitarists, His style and playing reflects that of Jason Wilbur, Prine's go to guy from the early 1990’s up until Johns death. Bassist Derek Matthews is known from one of Irelands top wedding bands ‘Stop the Clock’. His double bass and look again reflects that of Prine's bass man Dave Jacques. Drummer Shay Carry is the backbone of the band with his unique style. Shay has toured with some of Irelands top country artists such as Gerry Guthrie, Lee Matthews and Shane Owens to name but a few.

Tickets are also available from Newgrange reception or via band members.
