# Event Details - **Event Name**: JOHN CRAIGIE - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 10 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 pm – Sat, 10 Oct, 2026 at 11:00 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: A welcome return to Belfast for the wonderful American singer-songwriter and storytellerAbout this EventFor over a decade, John Craigie has made music that brings people in, not with spectacle but with sincerity and songs that feel like conversations.His new album I Swam Here, out February 6, 2026 on Zabriskie Point Records, was written and produced by Craigie and recorded between New Orleans and Astoria. Seven tracks were cut at Deslonde St Studios with musicians handpicked by Sam Doores of The Deslondes, including Howe Pearson, Max Bien Khan, Jonny Campos, and a guest appearance from Desiree Cannon. Longtime collaborator Anna Moss appears across much of the record. The remaining tracks were finished at the Rope Room in Astoria, carrying over the same spirit and palette. The cover art, painted by Brittany Schall, nods to the design of mid century samba and jazz records.The album’s singles trace the path of its making. “Fire Season,” engineered by Bart Budwig, was one of the first songs written and features Cooper Trail, Nevada Sowle, Luke Ydstie, and Jamie Greenan. “Dry Land” was reworked in Astoria after early New Orleans sessions didn’t feel right. “Edna Strange,” inspired by Marty Robbins, is the only track where Craigie plays steel string acoustic, with Max Bien Khan on nylon string leads and a trio vocal arrangement in place of Moss’s harmonies.Following 2024’s Pagan Church with TK & The Holy Know-Nothings, which spent six weeks at #1 on the Americana Albums chart, I Swam Here feels both expansive and intimate, shaped by the musical history of the Gulf Coast and the stillness of the Pacific Northwest.Craigie remains a tireless live performer, touring throughout the U.S., Europe, and Australia, appearing at festivals like Newport Folk, Pickathon, Edmonton Folk Festival, and High Sierra, and sharing the stage with artists such as Langhorne Slim, Sierra Hull, Gregory Alan Isakov, Brett Dennen, and Jack Johnson. His annual #KeepItWarm Tour donates $1 from every ticket sold to regional nonprofits, and his John Craigie On The River trips on the Tuolumne and Rogue rivers have become cherished gatherings for fans.I Swam Here is a grounded, collaborative step forward, blending New Orleans grit with Pacific Northwest quiet, and showing a songwriter still widening the world of his music. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/belfast/john-craigie/100001988676841968 - **Event Categories**: music, festivals, entertainment, art, performances, live-music, trips-adventures - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: 18+ - Duration: 3 hours - Location: The Deer's Head - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 18.59, max: 18.59, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Belfast - **state**: NI - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Deer's Head - **lat**: 54.6014754 - **long**: -5.9302674 - **full address**: The Deer's Head, 1-3 Lower Garfield Street, Belfast, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: JOHN CRAIGIE - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/0d66dfae51f867d3aeee79fd4731982da4ecc41ce153950b3f62628cd6f917e5-rimg-w1200-h600-dc2b3f48-gmir.jpg?v=1778228568 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is JOHN CRAIGIE being held? - **A:** JOHN CRAIGIE takes place on Sat, 10 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Sat, 10 Oct, 2026 at 11:00 pm at The Deer's Head, 1-3 Lower Garfield Street, Belfast, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Is there an age restriction for JOHN CRAIGIE? - **A:** JOHN CRAIGIE is strictly for guests aged 18 and above.
