Damien Rice Teases New Music, Announces Tour

Damien Rice has announced his comeback with details of a 2023 UK and European tour and a glimpse of new music. Tickets for the tour are available here .

The dates mark the return of Irish singer-songwriter to the spotlight. Rice last released an album nine years ago with My Favourite Faded Fantasy , which came eight years after its predecessor, 2006’s 9 .

Rice hasn’t released any new music alongside the announcement of the dates, but promised that “more dates [are] coming soon” and shared a teaser of him performing a new song and confirmed that new music is set to be arriving, see below.

Rice has also contributed to a charity album called The Busk Record . The recording of The Busk Record took place over two nights in St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin in December 2021, when a host of artists came together to lend their talents to Dublin Simon Community as Covid restrictions meant the charity’s annual Christmas Eve Busk couldn’t happen in-person. Rice contributed the song Astronaut and other artists on the album include Bono, Lisa O’Neill and Glenn Hansard.

The Busk 2021 was streamed on YouTube on Christmas Eve last year, with individual artists being supported by The Busk Choir; an assembly of artists, crew, Dublin Simon staff and volunteers and service users who were present at the recording.

The Busk Record is available to preorder now from thebuskrecord.com and will be released on Friday 9 December 2022 on vinyl at a cost of €27.95 with proceeds going to Dublin Simon Community to help people experiencing or at risk of homelessness in Dublin and the surrounding counties.

DAMIEN RICE, ACHINGLY BEAUTIFUL, AT THE O2 APOLLO, MANCHESTER UK, 15TH MARCH 2023

WORDS AND IMAGES DESH KAPUR

I was beyond excited, I am heading into Manchester O2 Apollo to see Irish singer/songwriter Damien Rice , for one of his only two live UK dates on this tour, how lucky am I?

Damien Rice rose to fame nationally and internationally with his debut album “O” back in 2002: he is independent to the core, releasing his records and touring on his own time scale.

When I arrive at the venue, which is sold out completely, touts are trying to buy and sell tickets and even at the exorbitant price they are quoting people are still buying them, I don’t condone this, but it is indicative of how special a Damien rice show is.

As I make my  way into the Apollo, I am greeted by a minimal stage setup, adorned only with two standing light, a handful of guitars, a piano and it was all seated, I have been to cover gigs at the Apollo on so many occasions, but never when it was all seated, it looked so different

The venue is full now and as the crowd eagerly await the man they have come to see, I hear excited murmurs all around me, “ what will the setlist be” I saw him on his last tour and he was amazing” I think you get the idea. And all the time the excitement was growing and you could almost taste it.

Then Damien takes the stage, armed only with his trusty acoustic guitar, the lights are dim and the crowd after the initial cheers, shouts and whistles have grown quiet, as a hush of anticipation settles in the venue, it sends shivers down my spine. The thing about Damien Rice is he has this art of making the biggest shows seem intimate, like he is only singing to you. Clothed in a beanie, slacks and loose fitting shirt, his dress code for tonight was as relaxed as he was. As one of my friends pointed out, he actually looked a bit like Moxy from the hit TV show, Auf Wiedersehen Pet ,  I mean that most nicely. and if you know you know.

From the first notes of the first song, a brand new track called “I stepped Out In The Rain,” the  performance was electric. The Irish singer-songwriter, took the audience into the palm of his hand and gently held them there for the whole of the show. Wow, from start to finish of his performance he gave everything, laying it all bare. He is so immensely talented and the sound of those achingly beautiful acoustic guitar melodies fill the venue. As he strummed his guitars with so much love, power and rage, I am truly surprised he is not changing the strings after each song. Those beautiful haunting vocal tones are the kind that reaches deep into your soul and makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. What a night, what an amazing performance, I am truly blown away.

The Highlights of the set for me were the mirror ball bouncing light all over the venue for “Astronaut,” the ever so tenderly brilliant “The Blowers Daughter,” and “Volcano.”  where Rice divided the audience into three sections, each one singing a different vocal track during “Volcano’s” finale. It sounded amazing and the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end again. My favourite track was “Cannonball,” with the whole venue singing the chorus with him was very special.

Finishing the night to a much-deserved standing ovation, this is a show that will live long in my memory, thank you very much Damien Rice
