James Vincent McMorrow

Following hugely popular appearances at Falls Festival and Southbound in January, a whirlwind sold-out US tour and garnering comparisons to James Blake and Bon Iver, Irish prodigy James Vincent McMorrow debuts a new incarnation of his instant classic Post Tropical in QPAC's Concert Hall. Since breaking out of his native Ireland with the cabin-inspired confessionals of Early in the Morning, James Vincent McMorrow has shed his rustic edges with Post Tropical and now, Post Tropical Live – a companion performance that pairs his halcyon-soul falsetto, heartbreaking songwriting, and electro-acoustic sonics with an immersive new visual environment. Buoyed by a desire to create 'the most beautiful thing that I could imagine', the 31-year-old's artisanal blend of ethereal electronics and symphony-sized arrangements have captured the likes of Al Green, Tracy Chapman and Bon Iver's Justin Vernon. Channelling a strange familiarity echoed in Post Tropical's wish-you-were-here artwork, McMorrow's seclusive recordings have evolved into a transcendent series of performances – coupling the pin-drop intimacy of song-writing masters with the roaring dynamics of his three-piece band. Now crafting the definitive staging of Post Tropical with an all-new visual setting, James Vincent McMorrow will guide audiences through his slow-burn songbook with his full band – transforming the QPAC Concert Hall in a fever dream performance.
