About

It started under a lofted bed.

Liam Bohan writes, sings, plays, and mixes his music himself.

He started classical piano at seven; at twelve he took second in the world in piano accompaniment at the Fleadh Cheoil — Irish traditional music's world championships — and won Mid-Atlantic titles with his céilí band. At eighteen he picked up the guitar, and within a year he was writing songs in his dorm room in Cleveland, coming back from class to chase melodies. The songs took shape in a little studio he built under his lofted bed — guitars, keyboard, mic, string lights hanging from the bedframe, posters of When We Were Friends and Freudian on the wall.

His first single, “The One” (2026), was recorded and mixed entirely in BandLab. His debut album, Chasin a Feeling (October 9, 2026), goes further: thirteen songs that follow one relationship from the first butterflies through the doubt, the looking inward, and finally the moving on. He wrote, played, and mixed all of it himself. The genre shifts song to song; the voice and the hands don't.

On stage he fronts a band of friends he's played beside since school-band days — two-hour sets at breweries, farmers' markets, and ice-cream shops in New Jersey, plus Battle of the Bands and Springfest stages in Cleveland. This fall: a semester abroad in Madrid.

For fans of The Backseat Lovers, Daniel Caesar, and John Mayer.
