Damien Dempsey April 22, 2008

Irish singer/songwriter Damien Dempsey's 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 Presley. The surge of his fan base can be credited to his powerful, poetic and emotional live performances. Singer/songwriter Jess Klein was a nominee for the 1998 Boston Best New Contemporary Folk Artist award. She has appeared with many major folk artists around the country.
