MCD ANNOUNCE:
"It is with great regret that Grammy and Academy Award-winner Randy Newman has had to postpone his forthcoming European tour including his Dublin dates in Vicar St. on doctor's orders because of physical limitations and severe pain caused by stenosis in the lower back and neck.
Ticket holders can get a refund from point of purchase. Details of rescheduled dates will be announced shortly."
For nearly forty years, Randy Newman has been wowing concert audiences and cinema-goers alike with his ever-evolving brand piano-based, often satirical folk-pop! Now, the man who offended short people everywhere (he didn't mean it, by the way), set American foreign policy to music and created the ultimate "Little Boy/Wooden Toy" love anthem is coming to Dublin for two very special nights at Vicar Street this November!
The recipient of the 2002 Academy Award for Best Original Song, 17 Oscar nominations, five Grammy Awards, and 13 Grammy nominations, Randy's spent the last nine years focusing on film scores, live performances and career retrospectives - although he did find time to record and release the fantastic iTunes-exclusive A Few Words in Defense of Our Country, which was later abridged as a New York Times op-ed piece and went on to named Rolling Stone's number 2 song of 2007 (“right behind Jay-Z and ahead of Rihanna,” as Newmanhelpfully pointed out).
More recently, he's been putting together his first album since 1999, Harps and Angels,a sensational showcase for Newman’s talents as a political and social commentator, balladeer, and storyteller - and the reason for this years European tour! So don't miss your chance to catch some of Randy's brand new tracks, along with a selection of his brilliant classics.
