Jesse Malin comes to Limerick
One of the acts we can look forward to during the Riverfest weekend is Jesse Malin, former D-Generation frontman, now three albums into his solo career, he plays Dolan’s Warehouse on May 4th.to promote his latest album “Glitter in the Gutter”
From the Warehouse Website:
Glitter in the Gutter is the new album from NYC’s Jesse Malin, an artist who has transcended tags like “singer/songwriter� for something different and largely indefinable. Penned “a fearless storyteller� (music critic Nigel Williamson), after releasing two critically acclaimed albums The Fine Art of Self Destruction and The Heat, Jesse has established himself as a career musician who writes songs that connect on so many levels that above all, he’s a healer. The songs on Glitter in the Gutter have kept the intimate slice of life and detail of his previous records but also work on a larger palate. Jesse writes locally but thinks globally and makes his songs identifiable so that they can connect with people in every part of the world. Of the live experience, he believes “it is equally, if not more important to the connection, especially in these days
of enhanced home entertainment computerized myspace.com addictions. How else can you get people out of their houses today?� he quips. When he performs, it’s about interaction through participation. He gives his fans something to celebrate. When he sits down on the floor among the crowd in mid-song, everyone follows. “We were born in flames, maiden names, suburban homes, make your bones Bite your lip, take the fifth, know your rights, it’s your life now Don’t let them take you down….it’s a beautiful day.�
And we have been asked to review the album “Glitter in the Gutter” to co-inside with the Dolan’s warehouse concert.
Not only that, but One Little Indian Records have given us three copies of the CD to give away as prizes. We will have more on how to win the album later in the week.
The Irish tour also takes in Dublin on the 3rd of May and Belfast on the 5th of May. Full details of these dates can be found at his official website.
