EILEEN ROSE

plus support ^ Upstairs ^ From Nashville Eileen Rose & the Holy Wreck return to the UK for the first time in over five years and with a new album under their belt ‘Eileen Rose – Muscle Shoals’ which they just finished recording at the famed Southern Studio, it is destined to be a hands-down favorite for long term fans and the surprise of the year for those yet to discover Rose’s extraordinary songcraft and astonishing voice. Established in 1969 Muscle Shoals the “Hit Recording Capital of the World.” where icons like The Rolling Stones, Linda Rondstadt, Dylan, Willie Nelson, The Staple Singers, The Allman Brothers recorded some of their most beloved songs. The instruments used on records like Brown Sugar, Wild Horses where there for Eileen to use. Rose’s breakthrough album, 2000’s Shine Like It Does, recorded with country-techno renegades Alabama 3 (responsible for the theme tune to The Sopranos) was released on Rough Trade Records. The newly minted solo artist had the music press reaching for the superlatives. And so it’s been for every Rose album to follow. These include Rose stand-outs Be Many Gone (2015), Luna Turista (2010), At Our Tables (2008), Come The Storm (2005) which Judy Collins personally offered to release in the US after seeing Rose on stage in Glasgow. Her band The Holy Wreck, feature guitar master Rich Gilbert (Frank Black, Jack White) Chris Machlalan on bass, and Steve Latanation (Agent Orange, The Legendary Shack Shakers) on drums. “Makes you want to roar down the highway with the windows open and a finger on the repeat button.” – Rolling Stone “SHE KEEPS you guessing, this Eileen. One moment she could be Chrissie Hynde staring you out in black leather, but elsewhere you’re more inclined to peg her into the Gillian Welch school of roots revival.” – MOJO

Statement from the Band:

Unfortunately due to the global pandemic of the Corona virus and restrictions in place by the Irish government, we unfortunately have to cancel our remaining tour dates for March and early April. We will hopefully be rescheduling these dates for later in the year. All refunds on ticket sales will be available from your place of purchase. Follow us on social media or visit www.foxjaw.ie for further information regarding our rescheduled shows. As many would know, being an independent band can be financially straining and a lot of time and money went into the release and promotion of our new album ‘Breathe In The Strange’, which we now will not get to tour with and promote straight away. So If you were hoping to grab a copy of our album and/or a T-shirt at one of our upcoming shows, you still can as they are all available from our merch store on our website.

D. CULLEN

‘The Rising Tide EP’ OUT NOW plus support ^ Upstairs ^ D. Cullen releases a new EP for the new decade in the shape of “The Rising Tide EP” on his own DCullenMusic label on 31 January. The EP comprises the title track together with an acoustic version of the same as well as a vivid, technicolour version of James Maddock’s “Hollow Love”. Following last year’s radio hit, “Alright”, “The Rising Tide” offers a different side to Cullen’s writing and performance in the form of a heart-wrenching piano and strings-driven homily to troubled, love-tortured souls.
I live near a lovely little beach in Shankill, Dublin, and The Rising Tide’s lyrics came from an evening walk down there when the sea was particularly wild. I wrote the lyrics then and there and quickly ran home to put some music to it. We ended up filming the music video on that very same beach, about 2 and a half years after writing the song, so we got a lovely full circle moment out of it! Hollow Love is a cover from an amazing artist called James Maddock. I discovered the song on a podcast called Underwater Sunshine (co-hosted by Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz), and became completely obsessed with it. It’s lyrically brilliant, with the most exciting guitar part, and has become a huge staple of my live set. Thank you James for the brilliant tune! The acoustic version of The Rising Tide came from an impromptu jam. I was messing around with a different tuning (Open G for any guitar nerds out there) and started playing around with this song. Sinead, my bassist/Backing vocalist/overall-partner-in-crime, heard it and insisted that we record the song with all those lovely, open tuning chords. As per usual, her instinct was right, and it’s lovely to give the song a new context.
“The Rising Tide” comes to life in wind-torn, sea-soaked monochrome at: ======================== D. Cullen is a 25 year old singer and multi-instrumentalist with a love for life, melody and properly crafted songs. Having served his time writing and playing, with some success, both solo and in various indie bands in his mid to late teens he began to knuckle down in 2018 to writing songs that reflected, properly, his core taste in music (Foo Fighters, Ben Folds, Villagers, Elbow amongst many others) as well as a maturity in writing that clearly belies his years. Courtesy of studio time with Producers Boo Hewerdine and Chris Pepper in the leafy glades of Cambridgeshire, the 2019 single “Alright” got the ball rolling properly (after an initial toe-dipping exercise with “My Face”, complete with mesmerising video). Its good vibes, punchy horns and rousing chorus garnered an instant reaction from Irish national radio and TV affording him playlists and a debut appearance (complete with choir) on the Late Late Show. ======================== You can see D. Cullen and his band play it and a host of other tunes at the following shows: Sat 28 March – Whelans (Upstairs), Dublin Thurs 2 April – Winthrop Avenue, Cork Sat 4 April – Roisin Dubh (Upstairs), Galway
