How I Became A Wave is the solo project of Pat Carey, formerly of the acclaimed Irish indie band, The Hard Ground. Blending literary and natural world influences with lush strings and steel pedal guitars, the music of How I Became A Wave speaks to the soul through considered lyrics and quietly rousing melodies.
2025 has seen How I Became A Wave opening for renowned fellow Irish artists such as Villagers, Lisa Hannigan, Gemma Hayes, John Spillane and Ailbhe Reddy. The band has performed at the iconic Sounds From A Safe Harbour festival in their native Cork, and in the magical surrounds of the National Concert Hall, Dublin.
Drawing inspiration from writers like Mary Oliver, Eavan Boland, Max Porter, Sylvia Plath, Seamus Heaney, Doireann Ní Ghríofa and Sara Baume, and musical influences such as Paul Buchanan, Bon Iver, Big Thief, Nils Frahm and Anaïs Mitchell, How I Became A Wave reflects on love, loss and the quiet significance of everyday moments.
