The Kooks and Simple Things

Simple Things is an Irish folk-pop band from County Kerry, consisting of Dylan O'Sullivan, Kealan Cahill, and Shane Kennedy. Rooted in traditional Irish music, the group blends modern pop sensibilities with organic instrumentation like acoustic guitar, accordion, and mandolin. Managed by music lawyer Willie Ryan, they achieved breakout success with their 2026 single "Wait For Me," co-written with Steve Garrigan of Kodaline, following a highly successful 2025 that included millions of streams and high-profile support slots.
