Dermot Kennedy on Tour
Folk singer-songwriter Dermot Kennedy has quickly taken the world by storm, rising from a small town in Ireland to release a number of charting singles as well as work with revered musicians and producers like Glen Hansard and Mike Dean (Kanye West, Travis Scott). In 2017, the dynamic performer went on the U.S. festival circuit and played Lollapalooza, South by Southwest, Austin City Limits and Bonnaroo, making an international name for himself with his high-energy shows. The following year, he went on a world tour and played shows in the U.S., Australia and Europe, hitting Coachella and also playing an NPR Tiny Desk Concert after being voted NPR Slingshot Best New Artist of the Year. Kennedy's live shows flesh out his intimate tunes with a full band, bringing the audience fully inside his expressive songs. Kennedy's tour in 2019 took him across multiple continents as he incorporated tracks from his sophomore album, Without Fear, into his set.
Dermot Kennedy in Concert
Born in 1991 in Ireland, Kennedy was attracted to music at a young age, picking up a guitar at 10 and taking the plunge into songwriting a few years later, at 14. Before long, Kennedy was performing at open mics around Dublin; eventually he found himself busking — playing music on the street for money — in cities around the world. After high school, he studied classical music at the university level for a few years, but ultimately decided to pursue folk music. Kennedy's big break came when he won first place in a major upset at the South County Song Contest at St. Finian's GAA Club, putting him on the radar of industry professionals and singer-songwriters around the world.
After he self-published on Spotify, some of Kennedy's music found its way onto Discover Weekly playlists, which helped him get noticed by a wider audience. His first charting single, "Young & Free," reached No. 82 on the Irish Singles Chart, but his breakthrough came with 2018's "Power Over Me," which reached No. 10 on the Irish Singles Chart, No. 21 on the U.S.'s Hot Rock Songs and No. 5 on Adult Alternative. "Power Over Me" has since been certified gold. Kennedy signed to Interscope and, in January 2019, released his self-titled debut album, which hit No. 5 on the Irish charts.
Loved the show! Dermot is great and so talented!!!!
The most amazing concert I’ve ever seen. Dermot Kennedy is the greatest artist of our time. A lyrical genius. An Evening I will never forget.
Dermot Kennedy is one of my favorite artists!! So talented, so authentic- a joy to listen to him especially live!!
The show was so good! This is the second time I have seen him in person. I brought my whole family this time. My daughter was even more excited than I was to see him. The venue was small but intimate. The merchandise area was a little hard to get to. Overall, I would go back in a heartbeat!
Unreal. This is something I wanted to relive over and over!
Vicki with VIP made the night so memorable! The meet and greet was completely worth it and allowed us early entry. Our server was so attentive and funny. Dermot was incredible and played his heart out. One of my favorite concert experiences to date.
Dermot Kennedy was incredible. The performance was everything I expected, and more. He has such a way of connecting with his audience. However, the venue was a bit chaotic. While waiting to get in, we were provided water, which was helpful. We were told several different times that the doors would open, none of which were accurate. Once inside, it was a free for all. The point of getting there early and getting in line is so you're in order of arrival. Being the 10th person in line meant nothing. I was not at the front for the acoustic session, for meet and greet, merch, or during the performance. The security guards were saying one thing and the events coordinator had a different idea of the evening. Even though it was chaotic, the show was enjoyable and I would have done it again. I think the venue needs to improve their process and making sure it's fair based on arrivals.
I love Dermot and his songs but opening was bad and I wished for Noah Khan… Dermot used to be much more authentic now he stepped up his game but I didn’t get a personal feeling there. Beautiful show but I didn’t hear a lots of songs I wanted and some were changed slightly… The theater was beautiful though.
This was the most amazing show I had been to in a while! Such a talented musician!
Venue was amazing. Comfortable and clean. The sound system was great! Performance was one to remember.
Great show. Great set design. Great graphics. Great opener Mehro. Great audience….who knew all the words to every song.
His voice was incredible. The show was perfect, the set list was a good mix of old and new as well as upbeat and more intimate songs with just Dermont on the guitar or piano. Loved the show!
Dermot put on a great show at this fairly intimate venue where there isn’t a bad seat in the house. Acoustics for the opener (Mehro) were a little too heavy on the instruments but we’re perfect for Dermot.
This kid is the real deal. I suspect that will be the last time he will be playing in theaters. His voice and music is absolutely phenomenal. If you have a chance to see this tour… do it.
Well organized M&G! Amazing experience and venue!!! He is just one of a kind. He poured his heart out!
Better than expected, Dermot has s really unique voice. We really enjoyed it :)
Watching Dermot live, at the Center for Performing Arts was an experience I will never forget. I felt his reverb & his soul from my seat. I am looking forward to more events by him!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! Insane vocals, incredible range, unbelievable. You’re a true talent, Dermot!!!!
Seeing Dermot live at such a great venue was life changing. Epic show.
I saw him in December last year and my mom loved him so much we got tickets to the Sonder Tour. Dermot’s voice is incredible and the stage production was amazing!!
