His early career took off when he played piano and Hammond organ on the 14 million-selling soundtrack of The Commitments, a film that has become a cult classic. After moving to San Francisco, Eamonn expanded his repertoire, recording and touring with a diverse array of artists, including Michael Franti & Spearhead, Evelyn 'Champagne' King, Pink, Elvin Bishop, The Family Stone, H.E.R., Valerie Simpson, Los Lobos, Taj Mahal, and Boz Scaggs.

"A fusion of R&B, gospel and Irish music that sounds so natural and obvious it makes you wonder where this music has been all this time," - Keyboard Magazine.
