Following a performance at the Seantí in June, Shane Barry returns with his Silver South Ensemble on Sunday, November 10.
This time, the band has been expanded to a 12-piece for this once off occasion, to include a string section.
Shane Barry is a Waterford-based multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer. His debut, solo album ‘Songs from the Silver South’ is the perfect Autumn-to-Spring soundtrack - representing a wide range of influences and interests.
From ambient country to indie new-wave to folk-rock to the instrumental retro-dance/electronica of the album closer, Shane creates a number of tapestries to present the stories inspired by small-town living, taking his influences from Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello, Wilco, John Prine and 70s FM pop.
