Description
Since breaking out of his native Ireland with the intimate confessionals of Early in the Morning, James Vincent McMorrow has shed his rustic edges with the instant classic 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 at Vivid LIVE.
**** 'Profoundly beautiful' – Sydney Morning Herald
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, D'Angelo 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 four-piece band.
***** 'Sonically audacious, visually stunning and meticulously modern' – The Times London
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 Concert Hall in a fever dream performance at Vivid LIVE.
