- **Event Name**: John Murry, Live at Roisin Dubh [Galway]
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 29 Jan, 2026 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: John Murry was born in Tupelo, Mississippi in 1979, adopted into a family with a faint link to William Faulkner. It is the kind of footnote you might ignore in anyone else, except his songs carry the same Southern shadow. Less postcard Americana, more lived-in fiction, full of dread, tenderness, and the sort of detail that suggests the narrator has been paying attention in the dark.

The early years were marked by undiagnosed autism, strict religion, and evangelical “rehab”, pressures that left their imprint on the writing long before there was an audience for it. After a formative spell in Memphis alongside cult songwriter Bob Frank, Murry moved to San Francisco and, with producer Tim Mooney, made The Graceless Age: slow-burn, piano-led songs with an undertow, dark at the edges, gruelling without ever pleading for sympathy. The record drew serious notices, turned up across end-of-year lists, and its reputation has only hardened over time, later landing in Uncut’s “500 Greatest Albums of the 2010s-Now”.

“A work of genius” ***** The Guardian

‘The Graceless Age …is a Classic… from a compelling honest, deeply emotional, singer-songwriter’ THE TIMES

‘An instant classic. The Graceless Age is a Masterpiece. Murry’s songs are unforgettable’ UNCUT 9/10.

‘Ink-black gothic country gospel. Formidable stuff’ MOJO 5 STARS

Ireland became the place where the next chapter could be written. A Short History of Decay  and The Stars Are God’s Bullet Holes  read like survival documents, unsentimental, sharply observed, and darkly funny.

A Short History of Decay, “..delivers in gloriously dysfunctional bucketloads” **** Mojo


 The Stars Are God’s Bullet Holes "9/10 Uncut"

This show opens his 2026 Irish tour, his first Galway date since he played around the Galway Film Fleadh world premiere of Sarah Share’s documentary The Graceless Age: The Ballad of John Murry. Since then, the film has travelled widely, winning Best Irish Documentary at Galway Film Fleadh, and later reaching a much broader audience through cinema screenings and RTÉ broadcast. Now based back in the Mississipi and beginning work on a new album, Murry returns with his full band, right at the point where the next record is starting to take shape. 

The tour also takes in Coughlan’s, Cork (sold out) and Whelan’s, Dublin..
