Origin Story are “one of the freshest voices in Irish jazz and a must-hear for anyone who wants to know where the piano trio is headed in the 21st century” (Irish Times). Their debut album Good Friday was named Irish Times Jazz Album of the Year in 2020.


Pianist Greg Felton, bassist Cormac O'Brien, and drummer Matthew Jacobson bring over 25 years of friendship and collaboration to the project, having played key roles in some of the most artistically significant ventures in Irish creative music. Since 2016, they’ve been writing and performing together as a trio under the name Origin Story.


Their music is shaped by this rich shared history provocative, responsive, and deeply rooted in both the foundations of the jazz tradition and the push toward new ideas.


They’ve delivered a string of acclaimed performances at events such as the Galway Jazz Festival, Bray Jazz Festival, New Ross Piano Festival, IMC’s Signal Series, and Howth Blues & Jazz Festival, alongside long-running residencies at the Dwarf Jar and the Liquor Rooms.
