The Big Thief songwriter has announced a new solo album to be released in 2024 and there’s three now sold-out Irish gigs announced to coincide with it.
The news arrived with a song called ‘Ruined’ which finds Lenker on a piano ballad mood.
The tour dates (now sold out) for Ireland are below with full list of EU, UK and US at the bottom.
19 April – GALWAY, The Black Box
20 April – KILKENNY, St. Canice’s Cathedral
21 April – DUBLIN, Vicar Street
The accompanying ‘Ruined’ video was directed by Adrianne’s brother Noah Lenker.
“This song has been a quiet beacon for me. It may contain the essence of the gift of romantic love but it’s mostly about something much bigger.”
