Damien Dempsey, the man who fuses reggae, traditional Irish music and rock and folk is making his way across Australia in a tour which is set to kick off in March.
Damien’s fans include Brian Eno, Sinéad O’Connor, Bob Dylan and U2, (both of whom he has shared a bill with), and Morrissey, who invited him to support him on his US tour.
The four years since the release of his previous album The Rocky Road have been busy for the singer songwriter. In addition to writing and recording ‘Almighty Love’, Dempsey was involved in recording and performing the Official Irish Euro 2012 Song ‘Rocky Road To Poland’.
He also collaborated with renowned Irish graffiti artist Maser on the project ‘They Are Us’. Inspired by Dempsey’s lyrics, Maser painted giant masterpieces of Dempsey’s words on derelict buildings in Dublin.
Make sure you come along to see Damien Dempsey wow you with the soul and the spirit of one of his legendary live shows. See below for tour details. More dates to be added later.
