Irish singer-songwriter Lisa Hannigan has confirmed that she will act as the support act for Richard Hawley’s up and coming UK tour, as well as unveiling her latest single ‘Passenger’ - out October 14th.
The new single, also the title track from her sophomore album of the same name, is the next milestone in a prolific year for Lisa; one that’s included a Choice Music Prize nomination, breakthrough spots on the likes of ‘The Tonight Show With Jay Leno’ alongside two extensive US tours, and sell-out shows at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall, Shepherds Bush Empire and Dublin’s Iveagh Gardens.
Accompanying the release of the single, Lisa has also recently announced an autumn tour of the United Kingdom supporting Richard Hawley, culminating in an O2 Academy Brixton show on October 3rd.
‘Passenger’ is an uplifting taste of escapism from Hannigan, starting out with little more than ukulele and vocals, but building to a beautiful blend of strings, horns and sun-kissed harmonies. Name-checking Salt Lake, Texas, Phoenix, and Arizona amongst others, it is a fitting reflection on an album written about everything you take with you when you travel, encompassing emotional journeys as much as physical ones (“We came upon Ohio / I have you chewed on like a biro / Your are a sum I am no closer to deciphering”).
You can catch her singing this wonderful track as she supports Richard Hawley this September and October. If you need tickets, simply check the dates and links below to find details.
