Sorcha Richardson announces headline show at Whelan's

One of Ireland's most talented artists behind a microphone, Sorcha Richardson has been dividing most of the last decade between New York (where she studied creative writing and made demos in her Eat Village dorm room) and Ireland (where she was born and where she still has a considerable fanbase).

After graduating from college, Sorcha spent time collaborating and performing with other musicians in the Brooklyn music scene. She released her hugely successful single 'Petrol Station', winning praise from major music blogs across America and Europe and earning her first airplay on BBC Radio 1. She followed this up with a string of highly acclaimed singles, including 'Ruin Your Night' and 'Lost', and subsequently played headline shows in New York and LA.

In late 2017, Sorcha moved back to Dublin and began working on her debut album. In the year that followed, she played a sold-out headline show at Dublin’s Grand Social, supported Saint Sister at the Olympia, The Academic at the Iveagh Gardens and Imelda May on her Irish Tour, and performed at major festivals including Electric Picnic, Other Voices and on the main stage at Longitude. In 2018 she was named as one of RTE 2fm’s Rising Artists with DJs Tracy Clifford, Eoghan McDermott and Louise McSharry regularly playing her songs. She recently worked with All Tvvins on their sophomore album, Just To Exist, co-writing and singing on the track ‘No One Is Any Fun’, and was invited by the band to support them at their album lunch at the National Stadium.

Sorcha’s highly anticipated debut album is set for release later this year. She will launch the record’s first single with a Dublin headline show at Whelan’s on May 24 and her first ever Cork headline show on May 26 (more details about that anon!)
