Hozier & Angie McMahon at the Akron Civic Theatre in Akron, OH
"Son of a Dublin blues drummer and a visual artist, Andrew Hozier-Byrne was launched into international stardom in his early 20s with the 2013 hit "Take Me To Church." What followed was a self-titled debut album, sold out world tours, a Grammy nomination and an ever-growing fan base. Now, nearly five years after Hozier, the Irish singer-songwriter releases his sophomore album, Wasteland, Baby!, whose tracks portray a gloom reality with undercurrents of hope." - Scott Simon & Monika Evstatieva, NPR, 2019
"[Angie McMahon] the Australian phenomenon delivers a controlled implosion in her dynamic, charged music – channeling intense emotions, reflections, and ideas through a volatile array of driving indie rock and moving singer/songwriter music. Having introduced herself nearly two years ago with the churning “Slow Mover,” McMahon’s recently released debut album fulfills on the promise and potential of her initial output. Out July 26, 2019 via Dualtone Records, Salt is a seismic outpouring spanning the full dynamic spectrum, the likes of which is seldom felt on record – especially in a debut." - Mitch Mosk, Atwood Magazine, 2019
