O'Rourke is a well-established name in the Irish music scene. His debut single "Galileo" has been recorded and performed by many artists including Josh Groban and Paul Weller. Weller has said of O'Rourke, "He writes the sort of classic songs that people don't write anymore, songs that sound like they've been around forever."
Declan spoke with Bethany from the road prior to his first performance in Winston-Salem.
