Irish musician, songwriter and record producer Enda Gallery will headline his first solo concert in the United States at the New York Irish Center on Saturday, Oct. 29 at 8 p.m.
Gallery, whose music innovations span a range of styles from hip hop and roots to traditional folk, runs the record label Welcome to the New World, which puts out songs with independent artists like Strange Boy and Tolü Makay.
The label was started in Berlin, but since the pandemic has been based in County Clare.
The Leixlip, Co. Kildare native Gallery’s own debut album, “The Journey to Zero” (2021), was named an RTE album of the week and his debut single received a BBC6 premiere from Welsh singing star Cerys Matthews, while his follow-up single, “It’s Alright,” appeared on “The BBC Introducing Mixtape,” and received BBC6 and RadioX airplay, and can be heard on the soundtrack of the break-out hit BBC/Hulu series “Normal People.”
Opening for Gallery will be local New York folk singer-songwriter of Rosa Tu, whose album “Drink All the Wine” deals with loss, death and the importance of living vibrantly.
Gallery is currently finishing up his first West Coast tour, where he is playing alternative music spaces in Los Angeles and San Francisco. His current U.S. tour is supported by Culture Ireland.
Tickets, which are $25, can be purchased at here at the New York Irish Center's website. The center is located at 1040 Jackson Avenue in Long Island City, Queens. The No. 7 subway train stops at Vernon/Boulevard/Jackson Avenue, one stop from Grand Central Terminal.
