SUMMARY:Ariel Posen
DESCRIPTION:For Ariel Posen\, songwriting and guitar playing have always gone hand-in-hand. He has spent a decade building a bridge between those two worlds\, balancing his work as an acclaimed instrumentalist\, including collaborations with artists ranging from John Mayer to Tom Jones\, with solo albums rooted in melody and autobiographical storytelling. The result is a career that is every bit as diverse as his music. With performances at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival\, his own Fender Stratocaster signature model\, and a powerful voice that matches his fretwork\, Posen continues to explore uncharted territory\, blurring the lines between genre and generation along the way. \nHis latest album\, Bannatyne\, sees Posen return to the place where everything began. Named after an avenue in his hometown of Winnipeg\, Manitoba\, the record reflects on the past while embracing the future\, combining larger-than-life guitar riffs and 1990s rock influences with the groove-driven textures and sonic exploration that have become hallmarks of his work. \n  \n“This is an album about coming home\,” says Posen. “It’s about looking back and appreciating where you come from\, even as you’re heading somewhere new.” \nCo-produced alongside longtime collaborator Murray Pulver\, Bannatyne is a powerful statement from an artist continually evolving his craft. The album features guest appearances from City and Colour and Kathleen Edwards\, while showcasing the dynamic songwriting\, expressive guitar work and emotional honesty that have defined Posen’s solo career. \nFollowing acclaimed releases including How Long\, Headway\, Reasons Why and the instrumental Mile End series\, Bannatyne finds Posen embracing a rawer and more instinctive approach. \n“Every record is the sound of me finding myself\, more and more\,” he says. “I’m not just a songwriter and I’m not just a guitarist. I’m both of those things.” \nRenowned for his electrifying live performances\, Posen has earned praise from audiences and critics alike\, with Rolling Stone describing him as “a modern-day guitar hero.” \nFans can expect an evening of masterful musicianship\, compelling storytelling and songs drawn from across his celebrated catalogue when he arrives at Whelan’s next February.

SUMMARY:Singular artist: THE BONES OF J.R. JONES
DESCRIPTION:Jonathon Linaberry looks back on Radio Waves\, his sixth album as The Bones Of J.R. Jones\, but there’s more than just nostalgia at play. Recorded with producer Robbie Lackritz (Feist\, Bahamas)\, the collection is moody and hypnotic\, drawing on the sonic landscape of Linaberry’s youth as it reckons with the doubt and uncertainty of adulthood. The arrangements are entrancing\, built on the tension between acoustic instruments and retro synthesizers\, and Linaberry’s performances are raw and visceral\, at times aching in their vulnerability. Put it all together and you’ve got a poignant exploration of memory and longing delivered by a relentless searcher\, a revelatory work of personal reflection rooted in the endless beauty\, pain\, and chaos of growing up. \nBorn in central New York\, Linaberry got his start playing in punk bands before becoming enamored with the field recordings of Alan Lomax. He launched The Bones of J.R. Jones in 2012 and began releasing a series of albums and EPs that would land his songs in films and TV shows like True Detective\, Suits\, and Daredevil\, and lead to countless tours across the US and Europe\, including stops everywhere from Telluride Blues to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. Along the way\, Linaberry would also share bills with the likes of The Wallflowers\, G. Love\, and The Devil Makes Three\, soundtrack an Amazon commercial helmed by Oscar-winning director Taika Waititi\, and earn praise from Billboard\, American Songwriter\, Under the Radar\, and more.

SUMMARY:Pokey LaFarge
DESCRIPTION:Singular Artists proudly presents Pokey LaFarge for a headline show in The Button Factory\, Dublin on Tuesday\, 9 March 2027. \nFor two decades\, Pokey LaFarge has walked his own effortlessly cool road as an exceptionally iconoclastic troubadour – forthright\, genuine\, and markedly keen to put it all out there. Rent Money now sees him pushing forward yet again in what can be safely declared his finest collection to date\, both as an heartfelt expression of personal experience and as no-nonsense social commentary. \nWith its twanging guitars\, plucky rhythms\, and undeniably captivating melodies\, the album soars and swings\, its joyous refrains belying the inescapable undercurrent of constant worry and angst that permeates these troubled times. \nAs always\, the Illinois native deftly traverses the genre boundaries\, seamlessly integrating the myriad strains of 20th-century American music with a freewheeling command of earnest songcraft\, inspired performance\, and subversive creativity. Rent Money stands tall as an indisputable high-water mark for Pokey LaFarge – a defining collection from a one-of-a-kind artist of rare ingenuity and uncommon candor\, now as ever\, determinedly crafting a sure-footed brand of deeply human music all his own. \n“People are always going to tell you what they think you should play\,” says Pokey LaFarge\, “what you should sing about\, how you should sound\, how you should look\, how you should act. And I’ve always just been like\, nah. Nope. I’ve just completely gone my own way\, and hopefully I’ve been honest and authentic in the process.” \n“I’m just trying to make music that AI can’t replicate. Things are so homogenised right now. That’s what I’m really\, really\, really resistant to\, especially when it comes to music. I’m not going to do it. I’m not going to conform.”
