SUMMARY:Tigercub
DESCRIPTION:UK rock trio Tigercub have quickly become one of modern rock’s most forward-thinking bands\, known for massive riffs\, cinematic songwriting\, and explosive live shows. Fronted by guitarist/vocalist Jamie Hall with bassist Jimi Wheelwright and drummer James Allix\, they’ve built a global following through relentless touring with Royal Blood\, Highly Suspect\, Porno For Pyros\, Clutch\, and appearances at Reading & Leeds Festivals. \nFollowing the critical acclaim of 2023’s The Perfume of Decay\, Tigercub return with their fourth LP\, Nets to Catch the Wind\, produced by Tom Dalgety via Loosegroove Records (cofounded by Stone Gossard). Blending the ambition of Muse and Queens of the Stone Age with their own dark\, dynamic sound\, Tigercub continue to push contemporary rock forward. \nJamie Hall was staring out the window\, letting his mind wander\, when a phrase landed in his imagination: ‘Nets to Catch the Wind.’ It was fleeting\, almost accidental\, but it resonated. It sounded expansive\, cinematic\, and full of possibility. It sounded like Tigercub. \n‘The Perfume of Decay was our midnight confession\,’ Hall reflects. ‘A gothic\, heavy-metal record steeped in anxiety and noise. Nets To Catch The Wind is the dawn that follows\, the white-light record set in the space between dreaming and waking. We built whole worlds out of darkness\, and this record is about learning to live in the light even when you know it will not last.’ \nRecorded over nine days at the legendary Rockfield Studios in Wales\, where Queen\, Rush\, and Oasis famously wrote records\, Nets To Catch The Wind captures Tigercub at their most cinematic and unrestrained. Many core takes were tracked live\, preserving the raw chemistry of the Brighton trio\, Jamie Hall on vocals and guitar\, Jimi Wheelwright on bass\, and James Allix on drums\, resulting in an album that is both immediate and transcendent. Produced by Tom Dalgety\, known for his work with Royal Blood\, Ghost\, and Pixies\, the record pushes the band into expansive\, textured territory\, exploring dynamics\, space\, and emotion in new ways.

SUMMARY:Antony Szmierek
DESCRIPTION:Manchester-born poet\, writer\, and producer Antony Szmierek today announces his second album\, Decoding Birdsong\, arriving 21st August via Mushroom Music / Virgin Music Group. Just eighteen months after his critically acclaimed debut\, Szmierek returns with a new body of work that signals a clear evolution in both sound and scope. Rooted in his personal touchstones within electronic music\, the album pairs expansive\, immersive production with his trademark razor-sharp lyricism. \nAlongside the news\, he shares new single ‘Chalk’\, an expansive\, sawtoothed electro track inspired by the snooker documentary Ronnie O’Sullivan: The Edge of Everything. In his words\, “it’s about the idea that chalking a cue makes a marginal difference to the outcome – a metaphor for chaos theory and the win-or-lose nature of the music industry.” \nLISTEN TO ‘CHALK’ | WATCH THE OFFICIAL VIDEO \nThe track premiered this morning on Lauren Laverne’s BBC 6 Music show and will appear on the upcoming album alongside his recent disco-inflected house single\, ‘The Heron’ — a nod to his avian companion Ken\, a 1920s taxidermied bird that also features on the album artwork. \nDecoding Birdsong follows the wild success of his debut album\, 2025’s Service Station at the End of the Universe\, which launched Antony into a whirlwind of Glastonbury\, Jools Holland\, and repeat BBC airplay. He’s sold out venues across the UK and Europe\, and in February 2026 performed to 20\,000 while closing Solomun’s Alexandra Palace shows. The former English teacher had been working at a college for special needs students when his blend of spoken word and dance music started taking off\, earning him accolades such as 6Music’s Artist of the Year in 2023 following his Poems To Dance To EP\, and frequent comparisons to Mike Skinner\, Jarvis Cocker and John Cooper Clarke. \n\nService Station at the End of the Universe was rooted in Greater Manchester\, its locals and landmarks\, such as the Stockport Pyramid. And he began feeling the consequences of that: suddenly\, everyone knew his name at the pub – on some days\, that felt good; on others it made him feel like he was in The Truman Show. Feeling like something needed to change after a year of experiencing the industry’s high highs and low lows\, Antony recently relocated to Bristol\, trading the familiar for distance and peace. Decoding Birdsong was made in his new home city\, with his long-time collaborator Max Rad. \n\nWhere his debut had been a solo endeavour\, Decoding Birdsong brims with collaboration\, including Australia’s Pretty Girl\, London band Los Bitchos\, and Bristol producer 1-800 GIRLS\, as well as Imogen and the Knife and indie pop star Ellur. \n\nSpeaking about the new record\, Antony explains “Decoding Birdsong is about choosing to believe in something. Coincidence as a religion. Making your own luck in the face of loneliness and doubt. The smallest things can feel seminal\, seismic and life affirming if you just choose to lean in\, but it also asks if this is a dangerous way to live.  \n\nWhat happens when your numbers come in? What are the consequences of luck? Should you listen to the birds\, or are you only ever going to hear what you want to hear? To help us explore this: a heron\, dice\, a plummeting airplane\, the late-night TV show Aussie Gold Hunters and a fibreglass replica of Godzilla.”

SUMMARY:Melanie C
DESCRIPTION:A bold\, uplifting anthem about resilience and inner strength\, ‘Undefeated Champion’ continues the joyful\, club-ready spirit of the Sweat era while delivering one of Melanie’s most empowering messages yet. Speaking about the new single\, Melanie C says: “‘Undefeated Champion’ is about getting knocked down and choosing to rise every single time. It’s a reminder that the hardest moments are the ones that make us stronger. It’s faith over fear\, joy in the face of adversity – almost challenging the universe: ‘come and have a go if you think you’re hard enough!’ At its core\, it’s about realising we’re far more resilient than we think.” \nThe release arrives alongside the announcement of The Melanie C World Tour\, a global run of shows set to bring the high-energy spirit of Sweat to fans around the world\, including a headline show at the O2 Academy Brixton on October 23rd\, 2026. Known for her electrifying live performances\, Melanie will celebrate both her pop legacy and her evolution as a DJ\, delivering a set that blends euphoric dancefloor energy with the iconic hits that have defined her career. Fans will have multiple opportunities to secure tickets in pre-sales and the general sale which will go live on Friday\, March 20th\, 2026 @ 10am local time. Full tour dates and ticket details below. \nBefore she became Mel C of the Spice Girls\, she was Melanie Chisholm of “The F**king Yeah Four”\, a group of 18-year-old friends dancing through the Costa Brava rave scene in the early ’90s. Those nights of breakbeats\, sweat and freedom would shape her forever. Decades later\, Melanie C channels that same raw energy into Sweat – her ninth studio album and most euphoric record to date. Recorded between London\, Stockholm and LA\, Sweat is a celebration of joy\, movement and community – a fusion of Melanie C’s pop legacy and her more recent evolution as a DJ. “I’ve done a lot of soul-searching\,” she says. “Now I just want to have some fun and get people dancing again.” \nThe new single lands amid a standout period for Melanie C. Recent highlights include headline performances and appearances at ABC Sydney New Year’s Eve\, New York’s Jingle Ball\, appearances on The Kelly Clarkson Show and Good Morning America\, plus viral moments alongside global pop phenomenon KATSEYE. Melanie was recently named Apple Music’s featured artist for their ‘Music That Moves Me’ playlist series\, as part of their January fitness activation.

SUMMARY:The Small Fortunes
DESCRIPTION:Formed in Warrington\, England\, The Small Fortunes started with Louis Menguy and Louis James writing together through lockdown. \nTheir debut EP\, recorded with David Radahd-Jones at Red City Studios in Manchester\, set the tone early: raw and confident. The arrival of bassist Liam Clarke and drummer Adam Christopher in 2024 — followed by Paul Glover on keys in early 2025 — completed the line up. \nBuilt on the backbone of the blues — the grit of Muddy Waters\, the drive of John Lee Hooker — and wired with the urgency of modern garage rock\, The Small Fortunes deal in energy over polish. There are shades of BRMC and The White Stripes in the mix\, but they’re not looking sideways. Everything they do pushes forward. \nTheir reputation has been built the hard way: onstage. High-impact\, no-frills\, and relentless\, every single one of their live shows has been a sell out.

SUMMARY:EZHEL
DESCRIPTION:Ezhel\, born Sercan İpekçioğlu on July 1\, 1990\, in Ankara\, Turkey\, and now a Berlin resident is one of the most influential figures in the rap scenes of Turkey and Germany. Growing up in the vibrant yet challenging streets of Ankara\, Ezhel was exposed to a diverse array of musical influences from an early age\, including reggae\, hip-hop\, and Anatolian rock. His passion for music began in his teenage years\, as he started experimenting with freestyling and performing in underground rap battles. \nEzhel’s breakthrough came with his debut album *Müptezhel* in 2017\, which quickly became a cultural phenomenon in Turkey. The album\, which blends rap with reggae and trap elements\, was lauded for its raw lyricism\, addressing themes such as urban life\, societal issues\, and the struggles of youth. Songs like “Şehrimin Tadı” and “Geceler” resonated deeply with a generation facing economic and social challenges\, establishing \nEzhel as the voice of the Turkish youth. Despite facing legal challenges\, including arrests for allegedly promoting drug use in his lyrics\, Ezhel’s popularity only grew. He became a symbol of resistance and freedom of expression in Turkey\, using his platform to highlight the realities of life for many young people in the country. His music\, characterized by its authenticity and emotional depth\, has earned him a loyal fan base not only in Turkey but also internationally. \nEzhel’s collaborations with global artists such as Aitch\, Luciano\, Gentleman and Ufo361 have further expanded his reach\, making him a prominent figure in the global hip-hop community. Today\, Ezhel continues to push the boundaries of rap music\, using his music as a powerful tool for storytelling and social commentary\, solidifying his place as a pioneering artist in the genre.

SUMMARY:Elder Island
DESCRIPTION:Following last month’s sold out return to the stage in London and Bristol\, where fans were given a \nfirst glimpse of forthcoming album Hello Baby Okay\, Elder Island share new single ‘Letters’\, out 8th April via !K7. \n\nThe band also announced a headline tour\, marking a full return to the stage. The run kicks off in \nCardiff on 21st October\, with stops in Dublin\, Glasgow\, Leeds\, Manchester\, Brighton\, Bristol and \nLondon\, including a show at London’s iconic KOKO. \n\nRecently selected by Elton John for his Apple Music show Rocket Hour\, the fourth single from the \nforthcoming album\, ‘Letters’ sees the Bristol trio take a more introspective turn. Expansive and slow \nburning in its progression\, the track unfolds through layered instrumentation\, expressive vocals and a \nsteady\, chugging rhythm that carries it forward. There is a cinematic quality to its world building\, \ndrawing on fragments of science fiction and folk imagery\, all threaded through the feeling of a long\, \nopen-ended road trip. \n\nBuilt around a driving low end groove and analogue led production\, much of the track was shaped \nusing the Dave Smith / Roger Linn Tempest\, before being expanded with Rhodes and guitar. The \nresult is a quintessential Elder Island composition\, immersive\, detailed and emotionally resonant\, \nbalancing rhythmic momentum with a sense of space and restraint.

SUMMARY:OVERPASS
DESCRIPTION:In their short history\, overpass have inspired an ever-growing fanbase with songs pulsating with youthful exuberance and the vulnerabilities of young adulthood. Their shows have been just as life-affirming\, providing a dopamine burst of wall-to-wall singalongs and an all-in-this-together communion. As they approach the release of their debut album\, ‘Elsewhere\, Always’\, overpass are primed to fulfill their skyscraping potential as their grassroots grittiness is scaled upwards into arena-reaching ambition.\nFor a record made with such confidence and conviction\, the dichotomy of ‘Elsewhere\, Always’ is that it is born from uncertainty. It’s a maelstrom of relatable twentysomething existential confusion\, but also one with the romance to map a course towards a brighter future. \nThe band – Max Newbold (vocals/guitar)\, Elliot Rawlings (guitar)\, India Armstrong (bass) and Jake Bishop (drums) – formed in Birmingham during lockdown. Their rise has continued ever since\, including a phenomenal 2025 which saw them sell-out two headline tours and power into big venues with The Wombats\, Wunderhorse and Inhaler.

SUMMARY:Black Stone Cherry
DESCRIPTION:In the past two decades\, Black Stone Cherry has set a new standard for Southern rock\, revitalizing the tradition with its burly riffs and stirring rock hooks. Since its formation in 2001\, the four-piece brotherhood has remained Chris Robertson\, vocals/guitar; Ben Wells\, guitar/vocals; and John Fred Young\, drums. Today\, the band welcomes its dear friend Steve Jewell Jr. on bass/backing vocals. Steve is formerly of the blues-rock band OTIS who has opened for BSC many times. “I grew up around this music. Every time we play ‘Lonely Train\,’ I remember driving with my dad and hearing it on the radio. I get emotional thinking about it\,” Steve says. John Fred chimes in: “Steve is the young kid in the band—he doesn’t have as many wrinkles! He’s a monster player\, and we have this insane chemistry with him.” \n  \nOver the years\, BSC has both headlined and rocked 12\,000-cap arena shows and shared the stage with a diverse roster of superstars\, including Alter Bridge\, Theory of a Deadman\, Def Leppard\, Gov’t Mule\, Nickelback\, Lynyrd Skynyrd\, Bad Company\, Mötorhead\, Halestorm\, Stone Temple Pilots\, The Darkness\, and ZZ Top. In 2018\, BSC performed in front of 100\,000 people at the Download Festival as main support to Guns N’ Roses. In 2021\, the band played the UK’s venerated Royal Albert Hall\, immortalized on 2022’s live DVD Live From The Royal Albert Hall…Y’All.

SUMMARY:Brandon Flowers
DESCRIPTION:For twenty years\, Flowers has been a fixture of the global music landscape\, yet Thrasher finds him pulling back the curtain on a chapter long kept secret: his formative years in small-town Utah. Moving away from the “big and shiny fantasy” of Las Vegas\, the new album explores the “Country-Western” traditions that soundtracked his youth in Nephi—a world of honky-tonk ragers\, highway rambles\, and winsome ballads. \n“I’ve been keeping the secret of my upbringing\,” Flowers says. “As I’ve gotten older\, I’ve found my way back to my father’s music and discovered that the stories I carry feel most at home in the skin of this beautiful American tradition.” \nRecorded in Nashville over a whirlwind three weeks\, Thrasher was produced by Shawn Everett and Jonathan Rado. The sessions featured an elite group of Nashville pros\, ranging in age from their thirties to eighties\, including local legends like David Rawlings (guitar)\, Bruce Bouton (pedal steel)\, and 85-year-old Charlie McCoy\, the legendary harmonica player known for his work with Bob Dylan. \nThe recording process favoured raw\, live takes—a method Flowers hadn’t utilized since the earliest days of his career. “It was one of the highlights of my recording career\,” he recalls. “There was so much experience and competence in the room. I didn’t want it to end.” \nFans at 3Olympia Theatre can expect a setlist featuring new tracks like the loping\, pedal-steel-drenched “Does It Ever Cross Your Mind\,” the haunting “Miss America\,” and the phantasmagoric finale “An American Dream\,” alongside selections from his celebrated solo discography including Flamingo and The Desired Effect. \nBrandon Flowers is a world-renowned singer and songwriter. As a solo artist\, he has released two chart-topping albums\, Flamingo (2010) and The Desired Effect (2015). His third album\, Thrasher\, marks a career-defining shift toward Americana and storytelling\, rooted in his upbringing in rural Utah and recorded with legendary session musicians in Nashville.

SUMMARY:Therapy Horse
DESCRIPTION:Therapy Horse made an electrifying entrance in 2025\, earning immediate recognition as one of Post-Brexit Pop’s Best Debuts of 2025. With members hailing from acclaimed Irish shoegaze act Pebbledash\, Therapy Horse forges a bold and cathartic soundscape\, channeling the visceral intensity of Lingua Ignota\, Wednesday\, Mogwai\, and Slint\, alongside Irish innovators like Percolator and Elastic Sleep. The result is an exhilarating\, exorcistic wall of sound that sets the band apart as a formidable new force. \nTheir debut single\, ‘LET ME BE CLEAR’\, dropped in 2025 and set the tone for their uncompromising ethos. Self-recorded in their rehearsal space with Andy Killian and mastered by Pete Maher (U2\, Pixies\, Nick Cave)\, the track melds searing noise with relentless\, rapid-fire percussion and ferocious\, unflinching lyricism. The song channels the anguish of powerlessness and the liberation that comes from embracing one’s anger\, establishing Therapy Horse as fearless commentators and sonic innovators. September saw the arrival of their riveting follow-up single\, ‘LOVE / MERCY’. \nTherapy Horse’s live performances are a tour de force\, radiating a whirlwind energy honed through relentless gigging across Ireland’s renowned venues. They have recently supported acts such as U.S. “fairy doom” heavyweights Faetooth\, UK post-punk band Heavy Lungs and many other Irish bands such as PUCK\, Mother Of Pearl\, Skinner\, I Dreamed I Dream\, Silverglass\, and The Low Field. Remarkably\, in just a matter of months since their inception\, Therapy Horse has already played iconic venues including Cork’s Kino\, Dublin’s Whelan’s\, and Limerick’s Dolans\, firmly establishing themselves as a live act to watch.

SUMMARY:Asher White
DESCRIPTION:Today\, Asher White\, the 25-year-old NYC-by-way-of-Rhode Island polymath behind some of the most inventive\, singular music in recent years\, announces her first ever run of UK/EU tour dates for Autumn 2026. Running through October and November 2026\, the shows take White across the UK and Ireland\, including a stop at Pitchfork London. \nIt marks the culmination of a prolific period following the release of her latest album 8 Tips For Full Catastrophe Living via Joyful Noise. The album has been widely praised for its fearless genre collision and conceptual scope\, with outlets including Pitchfork\, Rolling Stone\, NPR and Stereogum highlighting White’s distinctive creative voice. \n8 Tips For Full Catastrophe Living unfolds as a fractured self-help guide\, blending doom metal\, bossa nova\, power pop and industrial techno into a series of sonic collages. Across the record\, White explores themes of emotional collapse\, survival\, and absurdity in modern life\, delivered through surreal character studies and shifting musical forms. \nHer recent work has also included a full-length reimagining of Jessica Pratt’s debut album\, which received praise for its expansive reinterpretation of the original material\, as well as new single Nightingale Version (Sailor’s Moon)\, further showcasing her evolving songwriting and experimental approach. \n“White has a talent for melding elements that ought to sound out of place together\, instead making them seem right at home.”\nPitchfork \n“Younger artists have been obliterating genres for years\, but few can keep you guessing or leave you wanting more quite like Asher White.”\nNPR \n“Asher White is an Alex G-level prolific talent… it still feels like we’re only at the beginning of Asher White’s story.”\nStereogum

SUMMARY:Antony Szmierek
DESCRIPTION:Manchester-born poet\, writer\, and producer Antony Szmierek today announces his second album\, Decoding Birdsong\, arriving 21st August via Mushroom Music / Virgin Music Group. Just eighteen months after his critically acclaimed debut\, Szmierek returns with a new body of work that signals a clear evolution in both sound and scope. Rooted in his personal touchstones within electronic music\, the album pairs expansive\, immersive production with his trademark razor-sharp lyricism. \nAlongside the news\, he shares new single ‘Chalk’\, an expansive\, sawtoothed electro track inspired by the snooker documentary Ronnie O’Sullivan: The Edge of Everything. In his words\, “it’s about the idea that chalking a cue makes a marginal difference to the outcome – a metaphor for chaos theory and the win-or-lose nature of the music industry.” \n\nThe track premiered this morning on Lauren Laverne’s BBC 6 Music show and will appear on the upcoming album alongside his recent disco-inflected house single\, ‘The Heron’ — a nod to his avian companion Ken\, a 1920s taxidermied bird that also features on the album artwork. \nDecoding Birdsong follows the wild success of his debut album\, 2025’s Service Station at the End of the Universe\, which launched Antony into a whirlwind of Glastonbury\, Jools Holland\, and repeat BBC airplay. He’s sold out venues across the UK and Europe\, and in February 2026 performed to 20\,000 while closing Solomun’s Alexandra Palace shows. The former English teacher had been working at a college for special needs students when his blend of spoken word and dance music started taking off\, earning him accolades such as 6Music’s Artist of the Year in 2023 following his Poems To Dance To EP\, and frequent comparisons to Mike Skinner\, Jarvis Cocker and John Cooper Clarke. \n\nService Station at the End of the Universe was rooted in Greater Manchester\, its locals and landmarks\, such as the Stockport Pyramid. And he began feeling the consequences of that: suddenly\, everyone knew his name at the pub – on some days\, that felt good; on others it made him feel like he was in The Truman Show. Feeling like something needed to change after a year of experiencing the industry’s high highs and low lows\, Antony recently relocated to Bristol\, trading the familiar for distance and peace. Decoding Birdsong was made in his new home city\, with his long-time collaborator Max Rad. \n\nWhere his debut had been a solo endeavour\, Decoding Birdsong brims with collaboration\, including Australia’s Pretty Girl\, London band Los Bitchos\, and Bristol producer 1-800 GIRLS\, as well as Imogen and the Knife and indie pop star Ellur. \n\nSpeaking about the new record\, Antony explains “Decoding Birdsong is about choosing to believe in something. Coincidence as a religion. Making your own luck in the face of loneliness and doubt. The smallest things can feel seminal\, seismic and life affirming if you just choose to lean in\, but it also asks if this is a dangerous way to live.  \n\nWhat happens when your numbers come in? What are the consequences of luck? Should you listen to the birds\, or are you only ever going to hear what you want to hear? To help us explore this: a heron\, dice\, a plummeting airplane\, the late-night TV show Aussie Gold Hunters and a fibreglass replica of Godzilla.”

SUMMARY:Paahto & The Bull
DESCRIPTION:Paahto & The Bull is the guitar-duo project of Patrick ‘Paahto’ Cummins and John Francis Flynn. Having met and played together since 2011 and having cut their teeth at The Maple Hotel on Dublin’s Gardiner Street\, Paahto and John helped form the Irish traditional group Skipper’s Alley in 2013 and would remain long-term sparring partners and an integral cog in Dublin’s traditional and folk music communities. Once There Was A King was another of their musical endeavours which reached into a progressive musical space in its short-lived timespan. However\, as with any collaboration between these two players\, Paahto & The Bull is beyond a meeting of two musical minds and encompasses a very personal element. \nDuring the covid-19 pandemic\, the pair experimented with music on two guitars inspired by Paahto’s interest in bluegrass flat-picking and John’s very original approach to accompaniment. Beginning with just an Instagram page to post some amateur material\, Paahto & The Bull decided to take the project more seriously and gradually worked towards recording an album with the help of Brendan Jenkinson and Ben Rawlins. The ethos for the duo has always been to focus on simplicity and only features the musicians playing their guitars despite them both being multi- instrumentalists and singers. \nThe music of Paahto & The Bull is a very honest reflection of the unique kind of sound that Cummins and Flynn have consistently created with each other over the past fifteen years and\, although one might have expected their initial release to be a banjo/guitar product\, the lateral thinking that went into choosing a guitar duet is also very in line with the particular flavour of progressive that these lads strive for. The statement is firm: ‘This is what we play. This is how we play. And this is what we are going to play.’ Having signed with Claddagh Records in late 2025\, Paahto & The Bull will be releasing their debut album during 2026.

SUMMARY:Foy Vance: The Wake World Tour
DESCRIPTION:The tour will kick off in Zurich\, Switzerland\, on 3rd September and wrap in Boston\, MA\, on 1st May\, 2027. The world tour will start in Europe and the UK with stops including Berlin\, Paris\, Copenhagen\, Edinburgh\, London (two nights at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire) and Dublin. The US portion includes Los Angeles (two nights)\, Denver\, Nashville\, Chicago\, Washington D.C. and New York City. \nOut 13 March via Rounder Records\, The Wake marks the completion of a 26-year grief journey\, defined by Vance’s tireless soul-searching and life-altering revelation to create a series of seven albums following the passing of his father in 1999. He has carried one of his father’s favourite sayings –“Give me the boy until he is 7\, and I will show you the man”– like a compass eversince\, and The Wake finds Vance at the seventh album\, marking the end (or beginning) of a Chapter. \nProduced by Ethan Johns (the Brit Award–winning producer known for his work with Paul McCartney\, Ray LaMontagne\, and more)\, the 13-track album brings Vance’s gritty vocal work to a potent convergence of folk\, soul\, and Southern blues\, instilling every moment with unbridled vitality. At turns devastating\, ecstatic and wildly illuminating\, The Wake carries a title that reflects both sorrow and the promise of healing\, and reveals an artist highly attuned to the task of preserving the human spirit in an often-unforgiving world. \nThe Wake World Tour will follow a series of special record store performances and intimate\, sold-out album release shows in March. Plus\, he’ll play a special hometown show\, A Celebration of Life with Foy Vance\, at Custom House Square in Belfast in August. \nAcross the decades\, Vance has built a body of work where emotional immediacy meets sweeping\, soulful sound — stories told with a kind of fearlessness and fragile humanity that feel hand-carved from his own life. Albums like Joy of Nothing\, From Muscle Shoals\, Signs of Life\, and To Memphis have shaped his singular blend of Americana\, folk\, and soul\, drawing praise from Rolling Stone\, NPR\, and Billboard\, and earning admiration from artists including Ed Sheeran\, Bonnie Raitt\, Kacey Musgraves\, and Sir Elton John.
