A.S. Fanning + Special Guests

About this event

---

A.S. Fanning is an Irish songwriter whose music fuses the introspection of indie folk with the expansive weight of alternative rock and psychedelic music. Marked by layered textures, melancholic atmospheres, and his resonant baritone, his songs confront themes of dread, mortality, and uncertainty. Drawing comparisons to Leonard Cohen and Scott Walker, Fanning transforms unease into hauntingly beautiful soundscapes, blending acoustic intimacy with subtle electronic flourishes to create a voice that is both timeless and distinctly his own. A.S. Fanning’s latest album Mushroom Cloud earned widespread acclaim in the UK, praised for its sweeping atmospheres and unflinching lyricism. Hailed in the press as a career-defining work, it secured him recognition as Songwriter of the Year 2023 in Far Out Magazine and cemented his reputation as one of Ireland’s most compelling voices.His upcoming album Take Me Back to Nowhere was shaped by disorientation, fracture, and a fascination with the unstable nature of reality. Written while housebound with a broken wrist, the album reflects both physical limitation and creative paralysis, where endless words became overwhelming chaos. Inspired by sci-fi authors like Ursula K. Le Guin and J.G. Ballard, the songs explore how imagination bends reality, how anxiety reshapes the world into surreal, isolating landscapes.   See more about the artist Here  Say you are coming, join the Facebook event page Here
