James Vincent McMorrow to support Tracy Chapman

The invitation comes following an impressive performance by James at her three Olympia dates in Dublin this week.

James, who released his debut EP Sparrow and the Wolf last October, will be playing in such incredible venues as Manchester Apollo and London Hammersmith Apollo.

Having already supported the legendary Al Green in Vicar St this year, James has also recently signed a publishing deal with EMI Publishing in the UK. He heads to London to record and produce his debut album in the New Year.
