Damien Dempsey is back with his brand new single, ‘Hope Calling’, highly anticipated by his fans.

The single is set to be released this Friday, the first track from Dempsy's forthcoming studio album.

"I believe we must always carry hope in our hearts, hope lives in dreams and imagination and visualisation, and without it we would never solve or create anything, so keep it safe in your heart," he said. "I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing without hope, it helps us along through life like music does."

Over the course of his remarkable career, Damien has established himself as one of the country’s most beloved artists. His work is known for his truthful and emotive lyrics, celebrating how music can move us all.

Drawing influence from the likes of Bob Marley, Christy Moore, Luke Kelly and Shane MacGowan, the chart-topping singer songwriter has crafted a unique, soulful sound, centred around his powerful voice.

He is set to perform two sold out shows in the Iveagh Gardens on the 7th and 8th of July, 2023.
