SUMMARY:Miss Kaninna
DESCRIPTION:Miss Kaninna is a First Nations artist whose music\, voice\, and presence have made her one of the most compelling figures in so-called Australian music today. Hailing from Bruny Island\, Tasmania\, she is of Yorta Yorta\, Dja Dja Wurrung\, Kalkadoon\, and Yirendali heritage. \nShe made history in 2024 with her debut single\, ‘Blak Britney’\, earning three ARIA nominations\, including Best Independent Release\, becoming the first independent Aboriginal woman nominated for an ARIA for a debut single. \nThe track reached #1 on triple j\, featured in Netflix’s Heartbreak High and was named by Rolling Stone as one of the Best Australian & NZ Songs of the 21st Century\, marking a critical and cultural breakthrough. \nHer debut EP\, KANINNA\, followed to critical acclaim\, winning Best Independent Hip-Hop EP/Album and Breakthrough Independent Artist of the Year at the 2025 Australian Independent Music (AIR) Awards\, and receiving an ARIA nomination for Best Hip-Hop Release. \nIn late 2025\, Miss Kaninna took her music overseas\, joining Irish rappers Kneecap\, for an 18-date sold out tour across the UK and Europe. From Amsterdam to Glasgow\, her ferocious charisma\, rage\, and resistance made every performance an uncompromising statement of identity and truth. \nWith each milestone and movement\, Miss Kaninna continues to solidify her place as an artist whose voice and presence command attention. She is a cultural leader\, a creative force\, and a performer whose influence extends far beyond the stage.

SUMMARY:CURVEBALL: Barbi Recanati
DESCRIPTION:Barbi Recanati is one of the most influential figures in contemporary Argentine alternative rock and indie\, standing out not only as a musician but also as a passionate activist and cultural promoter. Her journey began at the helm of Utopians\, the garage rock band she led for more than a decade\, performing on some of the region’s most important stages and even earning a Latin Grammy nomination. However\, after the group disbanded in 2017\, Barbi began a solo career that redefined her sound\, moving away from raw punk to embrace a post-punk and new wave aesthetic filled with synthesizers\, chorus-drenched guitars\, and introspective melancholy. \nHer solo debut\, the acclaimed album Ubicación en tiempo real (2020)\, solidified her place in the independent scene and earned her a Gardel Award\, along with another Latin Grammy nomination. This success was followed by El final de las cosas (2023)\, a work that deepens her nostalgic style and her ability to write direct lyrics about human relationships and the passage of time. Alongside her musical output\, Recanati has transformed the Argentine industry through Goza Records\, a label she founded together with Futurock radio to support women and gender-diverse artists. Additionally\, her research work is reflected in the book and podcast Mostras del Rock\, where she recovers. It highlights the history of women who were pioneers in the genre but were made invisible by the official narrative. Today\, Barbi serves as a bridge between the legacy of classic rock and the new self-managed avant-garde. Don’t miss her first time in Dublin presenting her latest album\, “único y nuestro.” The band will take over Curveball (upstairs the Button Factory). Support: TBA. Don’t miss out!

SUMMARY:Ulster American
DESCRIPTION:Ulster American\, written by David Ireland and directed by Ciarán O’Reilly\, starring Max Baker\, Matthew Broderick and Geraldine Hughes\, is a savagely funny play that dissects the intersection of identity politics\, ego\, privilege\, and the Northern Irish Troubles with satirical precision. \nOn the evening before rehearsals begin for her new work\, Ulster-born playwright Ruth Davenport visits the home of English director Leigh Carver\, along with Oscar-winning Hollywood star Jay Conway who has just arrived in London to star in the world premiere. \nWhat begins as a cordial gathering to discuss the upcoming production quickly descends into a brutal psychological brawl as egos\, ideologies\, and historical baggage collide. A theatrical hand grenade disguised as a drawing-room comedy\, Ulster American explosively reveals some raw contradictions at the heart of modern storytelling and political posturing. \n\n\nCredits:\n\nLee Carver: Max Baker\nJay Conway: Matthew Broderick\nRuth Davenport: Geraldine Hughes\n\n  \n\nDirector: Ciarán O’Reilly\nSet Designer: Charlie Corcoran\nCostume Designer: Orla Long\nLighting Designer: Michael Gottlieb\nSound Design: Florian Staab\nSound Design & Original Music: Ryan Rumery\nProperties: Deirdre Brennan\nAssistant Costume Design: Lindsey Eifert\nFight Director: Rick Sordelet\nProduction Stage Manager: Karen Evanouskas\nAssistant Stage Manager: Jade Doina\nManaging Director: Lisa Fane\nPress Representative: Print Shop PR

SUMMARY:Leon Majcen
DESCRIPTION:A modern-day folksinger rooted in the classic tradition of Townes Van Zandt and John Prine\, Leon Majcen got started early. He was still a teenager when Love and Misery became a hit on SiriusXM’s The Coffee House channel\, introducing a nationwide audience to his unique spin on American roots music. What followed was a decade of traveling\, performing\, and chasing down new horizons — often with an acoustic guitar in his hands and a fly rod in the trunk. \nMaking A Livin’ (Not a Killin’) marks Leon’s fourth album in five years. Inspired by the tours that have taken him far beyond his adopted home of Nashville\, it’s the sound of a road warrior who’s grown all too familiar with the highs\, lows\, and heartbreaks that pave the long road out of town. He writes poignantly about a life spent on the move\, bouncing between solo songs and full-band performances. For a songwriter who first hit the road as an infant — back when his Bosnian refugee parents moved the family to Florida\, determined to find a better life for their children — Making A Livin’ (Not a Killin’) is Leon’s most honest album to date\, fueled equally by melody and momentum. \n  \n“The road is calling; don’t leave the light on\,” he sings during the first track\, delivering the line to all the people and places he’s left behind in the rearview mirror. Making A Livin’ (Not a Killin’) often revisits that theme of departure\, from tracks like “Down the Road” — a laid-back\, loping tribute to skipping town\, punctuated by fiddle solos and a deep\, countrified groove — to the darkly humorous “Sleeping in a Car Is Fun Until You Gotta Pee.” Both of those songs are driven forward by Leon’s acoustic guitar\, a nod to his longtime roots as a disciple of Guy Clark and Bob Dylan. That doesn’t stop him from getting loud with “Walking Down the Street\,” a bluesy rocker packed with amplification and attitude. That’s uncharted territory for Leon\, and it’s proof that even the most seasoned travelers deserve to explore new places once in a while. \n“I’ve always occupied the folky side of country music\, or the country side of folk\,” he says\, nodding to previous releases like 2020’s Back ’Til I’m Gone\, 2024’s self-titled Leon Majcen\, and 2025’s Better Days. “For years\, I’ve felt most at home when it’s just me and my acoustic guitar. But this record is a pivot. It’s a bigger sound with more layers\, more intent\, and a real producer. It just feels right.” \nThe producer he’s referencing is multi-instrumentalist Pat Lyons. Celebrated for his work with Americana mainstays like Colter Wall\, Lyons became a mentor to Leon during his first year in Nashville\, back when he was struggling to balance his songwriting career with a long series of day jobs. Leon worked in offices. He worked outside\, using his hands. Eventually\, with Pat’s encouragement\, he embraced the troubadour lifestyle\, dedicating himself to the stage\, the road\, and the writing room. Working with a small rhythm section\, the two collaborators recorded Making A Livin’ (Not a Killin’) during a pair of whirlwind days\, leaning heavily on live performances and Leon’s strength as a stage performer. They also teamed up with Riley Downing (of The Deslondes) for “Tallahassee\,” a duet steeped in the influence of New Orleans. The result is an album about tour stops\, roadside revelations\, and the lessons learned at 75 miles per hour. \nThere are more shows on the horizon. More songs to write. More fishing holes to track down. Leon is part of the Cloverdale family now — a record label and musical collective overseen by Evan Honer\, another Gen Z songwriter who uses folk music as a launchpad for a more expansive sound. And if the road truly goes on forever\, then he’s ready to run it down. This is how Leon makes a living\, and right now\, life is good.

SUMMARY:Shearling
DESCRIPTION:Serving as a spiritual continuation of the now-defunct Sprain\, Shearling exhibits the reunion of a now decade-old collaborative force between guitarists Alexander Kent and Sylvie Simmons. A subsequent recruiting of percussionist Andrew Chanover\, bassist Wesley Nelson\, and keyboardist Elizabeth Carver filled out their orchestrally-minded roster. The band was mostly quiet for its first year of existence\, avoiding live performances to instead focus on their brazen debut ‘Motherfucker\, I am Both: “Amen” and “Hallelujah”…’ \nThe record retains Sprain’s characteristic commitment to intensity\, further mutated through a newfound lens of collagist approach. Featuring only a single\, hour-plus long song\, Motherfucker is a demanding exhibition of uncompromising ethos. Shearling’s aggressive live performances and meticulous recordings demonstrate an ambition\, audacity\, and emotional vulnerability that few contemporary bands can parallel.
