By Kathleen Harris, 16th January 2012

Ryan Adams has announced he will play two intimate solo acoustic shows in Dublin and Belfast this April.

The country-rock singer-songwriter from small-town North Carolina will perform at Dublin’s Olympia Theatre and the Waterfront Hall in Belfast on Thursday, April 19th and Friday April 20th, respectively.

Adams, former frontman of alt-country/rock outfits Whiskeytown and the Cardinals, released his 13th studio album, Ashes & Fire, last October. Released on his own label Pax AM records and recorded with producer Glyn Johns (Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones), the album was a Top 10 hit on both sides of the pond. See below for the official music video for his single ‘Lucky Now’.

Tickets for these upcoming shows are on sale from Friday, January 20th at 9.00am. Available for purchase from Ticketmaster outlets nationwide, tickets are €44.05 for the Olympia and £30.00 for the Waterfront. To book online, visit www.ticketmaster.ie.
