Kevin Drew is taking his solo tour to Dublin, Cork and Galway

The Broken Social Scene musician and singer released the album Aging last November on Arts & Crafts.

A Dublin show happens July 24th at Whelan’s with Selective Memory, and the tour dates include Cork, Galway, Latitude and London.

Tickets €22.50 plus fees from Ticketbooth for Dublin.

July 23rd – Cork, IE – Connolly’s of Leap

July 24th – Dublin, IE – Whelans

July 25th – Galway, IE – Galway Arts Festival @ Roisin Dubh

July 27th – Henham Park, Suffolk, UK – Latitude Festival

July 28th – London, UK – Lafayette

Aging’s sonic profile sits in a similar place as beloved Broken Social Scene songs like “Lover’s Spit,” “Anthems For A Seventeen Year-Old Girl,” and “The Sweetest Kill” – beautifully dark, richly melodic, and tinted with shades of melancholy and longing. Where other Kevin Drew songs throughout his vast and incredible catalog – both with BSS and as a solo artist – lean into the exuberant fist-pump of being alive, Aging is an album best played at the end of the night; a collection for the stragglers left when the bar is about to close; a serenade for those who are coming down; songs that are quietly sad but ultimately ruminative and comforting.
