Laura Elizabeth Hughes announced for tonight's Hot Press Lockdown Sessions

To kick off the Easter weekend, we're delighted to present acclaimed Dublin singer-songwriter Laura Elizabeth Hughes on the Hot Press Lockdown Sessions – streaming live on the Hot Press Instagram at 7.30pm tonight, April 10.

Fast establishing herself as one of Ireland's most unique talents, a series of lauded releases have earned Laura Elizabeth Hughes an impressive 2.6 million views across her YouTube channel – with R&B star Joss Stone counting herself among Laura's ever-growing fan base.

2019 was another landmark year for the Dublin artist, with 'For You (Home)' and 'In My Defence' signalling stunning new developments in her sound. The latter earned her a coveted spot as cover artist on Spotity's 'A Breath Of Fresh Éire' playlist. Last year also saw Laura team up with 1000 Beasts on the powerful ambient house track 'Because of April'.

With  a sold-out Dublin headliner and support slots for the likes of Dermot Kennedy, James Bay, Little Hours and Cry Monster Cry to her name, expect a stellar set from this rapidly rising Irish star.

Throughout the Hot Press Lockdown Sessions, our star-studded line-up will be taking over the Hot Press Instagram account (@hotpressmagazine), and live-streaming performances from their homes around the world directly to your phone.

We encourage everyone who enjoys Laura's performance tonight to support her through this difficult time for musicians by buying music here.

Watch Laura Elizabeth Hughes at 7.30pm tonight, April 1o – live from the Hot Press Instagram.
