From across the seas, Irish-American duo DUG, made up of Irish songwriter Lorkin O’Reilly and California clawhammer banjo player Jonny Pickett, bring their raw and rowdy fresh sounds, steeped in harmony, alongside clever picking and fan-worthy fiddle tricks, to Australian shores for the very first time.
With roots that stretch from the Appalachians to the Atlantic, Grammy-nominated DUG blend Americana, folk, and indie soul into good times: emotionally charged, harmony-rich, and brimming with stories that linger long after last drinks.
Following breakout performances in the US and Europe, DUG’s debut Australian tour offers fans an intimate chance to experience their high energy performance – we’re talking two unreal humans making excellent music together.
DUG have just released an outstanding song, ‘Livelong Day’ from their much-anticipated album, Have At It! released in August through Irish label Claddagh Records. Tune in and prepare yourself for the ultimate folk, fiddle and frivolous journey across the East Coast. You won’t wanna miss this.
This is the first of many amazing musical adventures we will all share with this dynamic duo. Prepare your capes and get set to fly with DUG.
Dig DUG, on Sunday, at The Northern from 7pm. Tickets: thenorthern.com.au.
