JAMES Vincent McMorrow has announced a release date for his new album and a gig in Limerick. The critically acclaimed debut album ‘Early in the Morning’ from McMorrow reached number 1, went platinum and picked up a Choice Music Prize nomination upon its release in 2010. The follow up album ‘Post Tropical’ will be released in January. The new record will herald a change in musical direction for the songwriter who revealed, “I’m so proud of ‘Early in the Morning’ but I never longed to be a guy with a guitar. You play these songs live as best you can, and suddenly you’re a folk musician. But the texture of this new record is completely different. This is the kind of stuff that makes sense to me.”
James Vincent McMorrow will play University Concert Hall, Limerick on Saturday February 1.
