Brendan Benson at The Button Factory

He's in Dublin this Thursday.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 22 May 2012

A Raconteur of some renown and truly gifted singer-songwriter in his own right, Brendan Benson makes a welcome return to Irish shores this week. Still dealing in the intoxicatingly direct power pop that made his name, the Michigan man has a new album to promote. His fifth, entitled What Kind Of World is out now. You can watch him give it a live blast, as well as joyfully journey through the back catalogue, in Dublin's Button Factory, this Thursday May 24.

Tickets are priced at €22 and available from usual outlets and www.ticketmaster.ie.
