August Wells, the musical project formed by Dublin native Kenneth Griffin (formerly of Rollerskate Skinny, Kid Silver and Favourite Sons) and New York pianist John Rauchenberger, have announced an Irish tour for February and March.
Formed in late 2012 the band self-released their critically acclaimed debut album A Living & A Dying Game on Blue Car Records.
August Wells' latest album Madness is the Mercy received praise for its arrangement and autobiographical elements and saw the band tour extensively in 2016. In the face of cultural decline, August Wells' new single ‘Go To Work’ taps into the national mood and shows the duo lyrically wearing their hearts on their sleeves.
The Irish tour will bring the band to new venues around the country across 11-dates.
