For her residency at the Irish Arts Centre, New York earlier this year, Lisa surrounded herself with a veritable dream team of musicians including Theodora Byrne (vocals), Yuki Numata Resnick (violin) and Clarice Jensen (cello), Karen Cowley (Krea) (vocals), and Jane Patterson (vocals). Lisa had had a wonderful experience working with Theodora Byrne Ensemble lockdown project  on Theo’s vocal arrangement  of  Lisa’s “We the Drowned’ which set off the whole idea of arranging some of Lisa’s songs in such a different way.  Lisa had met Yuki Numata Resnick through Aaron Dessner who produced At Swim and knew of Clarice Jensen through People festival, and had previously enjoyed collaborating with Karen Cowley (Krea) and Jane Patterson on Irish shows together.

Together in New York they had a one day immersive rehearsal to create a whole new show with four performances in total, each very different in their set list. “The show grew in character, content and confidence every night,” says Lisa, “like an immersive life rehearsal with an intimate audience of friends. The power of time and space to create was evident and felt by everyone performing and experiencing these songs in such a beautiful empathetic setting. I am delighted to be bringing this show back home to to recreate some of the magic that we did in New York.”

Tickets go on sale on Friday, 6th September 2024. Support will be by Dani Larkin each night.
