Joanna Newsom is the latest artist to confirm a very special performance under the unique canvas setting of Marlay Park in Ireland this summer, Newsom will perform on Sunday July 24th. The Nevada singer-songwriter will be joined by very special guests, Scottish folk musician Bert Jansch and one of the Ireland’s rising stars, James Vincent McMorrow.
Joanna Newsom’s songs are rolled with passion, playfulness, history, humor, journal entries — everything she can get in there without sacrificing musicality. This occasionally demands a rewiring of the accepted lines of song structure, but that’s a wheel that’s been reinflated before. Joanna delights in her role as singer-songwriter; as such she’s inclined to curve perspectives, singing not just of herself and her feelings but embodying others’, some of whom she knows and some of whom she may know wherefore of they speak. Listeners, we ask, who is singing, and to whom? There’s a diversity of relations here, life measured through stimulating dialog and a disconcerting directness of inquest.
Through the course of her current album Have One On Me’s eighteen songs, Joanna visits ditties, weepies, court dances, rump-bumpers, epics and moments of panavision fantasia upon us. Once you’re done digging through this lot, another few years will have passed and it’ll be time for another new one.
@The Park is a new series of unique summer concerts bringing various exceptional musical line ups to Marlay Park catering for all fans. Each show will take place under the dark atmospheric canvas of an intimate capacity tent giving patrons that festival experience whilst within the surroundings of one of the city’s most beautiful parks set to the picturesque backdrop of the Dublin Mountains.
Throughout the years the venue has provided a stage for some of the world’s biggest performers including Radiohead, The Who, Aerosmith, The White Stripes, R.E.M., Daft Punk and Van Morrison. Continuing on in its fine live tradition Marlay Park is about to be transformed into a music lovers paradise once again.
