Nathaniel Rateliff

Nathaniel Rateliff's new debut album, In Memory of Loss, is a stunner - not surprising really, as it was produced by Brain Deck (Iron & Wine/Modest Mouse). The son of devout southern churchgoers, Rateliff credits his idyllic childhood in rural Missouri for his inspired songwriting. Fresh from support tours with Laura Marling, The Fray and Low Anthem, we are delighted to be hosting the Denver boy's first Irish show.

Captain Cameron

He’s not a real captain, he doesn’t have a boat, but since our last encounter Captain Cameron has been a busy boy producing records for other folk artists - Napoleon and the Lowly Knights - as well as touring with his other project, SixStarHotel. We are told to expect another self-released record from the Drumbeg born captain before the turn of the year.

Matrimony

Formed just six months ago, based in North Carolina, and with their debut EP, The Eye and the Storm, released for download only, Matrimony have nevertheless made a big enough noise to get themselves invited to Open House for their Irish debut. Expect beautiful harmonies from this new folk duo, Jimmy and Ashlee Brown.
