Vicar Street, Saturday 1st February

Sturgill Simpson – Live at Vicar Street.

The tour will follow the release of the singer-songwriter's highly anticipated new album Sound & Fury and its accompanying Netflix anime film, which were released simultaneously in September. The album and film are preceded by lead single Sing Along, which was featured as Zane Lowe's World Record on Apple Music's Beats 1. The official music video for Sing Along was directed by Japanese anime legend Jumpei Mizusaki, and offers a preview of the forthcoming film, which is set entirely to music from the full album with a different anime segment for each individual song.

Produced by Simpson, Sound & Fury, the album, was recorded primarily at the McGuire Motor Inn in Waterford, Michigan, with his bandmates Bobby Emmett, Chuck Bartels, Miles Miller, who all serve as co-producers along with GRAMMY nominee John Hill (Cage The Elephant, Portugal. The Man, Bleachers). The album, which Simpson describes as “a sleazy, steamy rock n roll record”, is a marked departure from 2016's acclaimed A Sailor's Guide to Earth, which won Best Country Album and was nominated for Album of the Year at the 59th GRAMMY Awards. Merging American rock music and Japanese animation in a revolutionary new way, Sound & Fury the film, was produced and based on a story by Simpson.

Holly Hudson – Fine, Actually

Craic Den Comedy @ The Workman's Club

50 minutes of stand-up and storytelling about a midlife American woman abroad who attempts to defend, explain, and occasionally apologize for her country of origin. Cultural collision, reinvention, and the specific modern experience of trying to stay composed while privately refreshing the news like you’ve been personally assigned to monitor the apocalypse. The political and the personal keep colliding — which turns out to be the whole point. Holly Hudson came up on the London circuit and has since performed at Laugh Factory Chicago, Second City, and Zanies. Originally from the Midwest,
