Sinead O’Brien
FRIDAY 21 OCTOBER 2022
The Exchange, Bristol

The genesis of Sinead O’Brien is a culmination of pure artistic talent and chance. Her writings were scribbled down in Parisian cafes before they fell into the hands of guitarist Julian Hanson and drummer Oscar Robertson who use their craft to decorate her words. The enigmatic poet, songwriter and performer navigates spoken-word with a contemporary sonance, tinged with post-punk riffs. Her debut album Time Bend and Break the Bower arrives June 10th.
With support from Krush Puppies.
