The latest music from Brian Deady has been getting a lot of press lately. One of the songs on the album, Clap Both My Hands, has hit the No.1 spot in Spotify’s UK Viral chart. It’s also been featured in a popular American television series, Lucifer. If this isn’t enough to make you rush out to your nearest record store, consider this.
The latest from Deady is one of the best in years, if not decades. He’s already opened for the likes of Talib Kweli and Janelle Monae. In fact, he is set to perform at Dolan’s Warehouse in Limerick on 19 April. However, if a weekend isn’t enough, there’s also a show at Sugar Club on 18 April. On top of that, Deady has just announced a list of upcoming tour dates. Among them are the aforementioned Sugar Club gig and the much-coveted gig at the famously snubbed Dolan’s. With his latest offering, the singer and his band prove that you don’t have to settle for one venue to see the very best in Irish indie rock.
Aside from his latest releases, Deady has a long-term plan in the works, including a musical theatre project based on the aforementioned Yellow Creek saga. The most impressive of these is a reimagined version of the aforementioned title track, with a score of new lyrics. At the same time, Deady has reworked his signature hits, and plans on playing them to the hilt in venues across Ireland. So, if you’ve never seen the guy before, you’ve got no excuses.
In addition to his latest releases, Deady has announced several upcoming show dates, which are sure to fill up the calendars of any fan of the Cork indie rock scene. Luckily, if you’re living in Dublin, you can catch Deady and his band at the Sugar Club on 18 April. But the bigger news is Deady’s long-term plan to bring the magic of Yellow Creek to life on stage.
The latest from Brian Deady is certainly the most polished and well-produced album to date. The record was recorded in a single session, and features a stellar track list of both new material and old favorites. What makes it particularly impressive is that, despite being a relatively small ensemble, the group has managed to come up with an awe-inspiring list of tracks. This is in part thanks to the help of some of the area’s most talented and hard-working musicians. Moreover, the record is a showcase of Deady’s prowess as a composer, songwriter, and guitarist. Indeed, if this isn’t proof that the singer and his band aren’t just a bunch of jackass wannabes, then I don’t know what is.
There are many awe-inspiring wonders to behold, but none compare to the fact that Brian Deady is a genuine Irish rock star with a genuinely soulful voice. Moreover, it’s a fact that he has been able to break into the international music scene without breaking a sweat.
