Oliver Anthony has announced his 'Out of The Woods' tour. He is set to play at The Ulster Hall, Belfast on February 12 and at Dublin's Vicar Street on February 13.

The American folk singer will be taking the UK, Europe and the States on over the course of the tour.

Anthony says he is still processing the overwhelming response to his music – “It's been challenging understanding what my purpose is and what I'm supposed to do with the opportunity I've been given. I don't deserve one bit of any of this.”

"I am drawn to the rolling hills, flowing creeks, swaying pines and mighty oaks of rural Virginia. Day brings the sunshine, and with it the songbirds, the crickets and the frogs. Nightfall brings the serenity of a dark outline of forest against a moonlit sky. The coyote hunt the deer, the bobcat screams and the owls sing. Nature doesn't concern itself with the problems of man. And when I'm immersed in it, neither do I."

"In 2024, I feel compelled to connect with other lost souls like me. The people battling sobriety, depression, debt, divorce. The ones being taxed to death but ignored. The blue-collar and middle-class families who can't get ahead because the system in place is getting ahead instead, at their expense."

He admits that he is both scared and excited about this tour – “But I need to meet other people like me, as many of them as I can. Then I won't feel like such a let-down when I do decide it's time for me to go hide in the pines again for a good long while."
