Damien Dempsey is a 28 year old singer/songwriter whose body of work to date is an intricate, hard-hitting social commentary born of the streets of Dublin and coloured by his experiences in New York and London.
His unique sound draws from a wide range of influences including traditional Irish, Sean Nos, Bob Marley and Elvis.
The surge of his fan base can be credited to his powerful, poetic and emotional live performances.
Damien has spent the last nine months in the studio in London, working with producer John Reynolds on his new album, Sieze the Day.
As a testament to the support Damien has from fellow artists and the passion he arouses in them, the album features Emmet Dempsey, Kieron Kielly, Caroline Dale, Justin Adams, Sinéad O'Connor and Brian Eno.

"It's angry, it's humorous, it's great music, it's great lyrics…. He's similar to me as a songwriter…. He sees the beauty that is Ireland and that is Ireland's past and that can be Ireland's future…."Shane MacGowan
