Jessica Pratt for Dublin headline show
The San Francisco singer-songwriter Jessica Pratt has finally been announced for an Irish gig.
Here In The Pitch was one of my favourite albums of last year, so delighted to see a Dublin date for the singer, courtesy of Foggy Notions. Indeed, the singer has long been a Nialler9 favourite.
Jessica Pratt plays Vicar Street this summer on Sunday July 13th.
Tickets €35 (including booking fee) on general sale Thursday February 6th at 11am. A presale is happening now. Ticketmaster.
Here’s what I wrote about the recent album:
How the San Francisco singer-songwriter so readily evokes music of another era, from Laurel canyon folk, 70s American psychedelia, and 60s pop, is quite a thing to behold on all of her records to date.
Fourth album Here In The Pitch continues the feeling of an artist being beamed from the airwaves from another time with warm analogue recordings that add retro sheen to the already otherworldly glowing voice of Pratt.
Pratt makes it all seem so natural, so simple, you wonder why more people don’t write music like this, but then that’s the beauty of this craft, it’s not easy to write music or sing this directly that it sounds as simple and as enigmatic as Pratt can.
