Ciaran Lavery Premieres 'To Chicago' via Billboard

Ciaran Lavery has announced his new album, Sweet Decay, to be released on April 13th, 2018. The first single, "To Chicago," is out now, after premiering on Billboard. A "master of music and words that sear into where it hurts the most," (No Depression) Lavery has already become an acclaimed singer-songwriter in his native Ireland. Hailing from Aghagallon in County Antrim, he has racked up over 80 million streams on Spotify and earned a Northern Ireland Music Prize for his 2016 album, Let Bad In. This year's follow up, Sweet Decay, is a self-reflection on personal growth.

Featuring performances by Saint Sister (vocals), Rory Doyle (drums - Hozier, Bell X1), Joe Furlong (bass - James Vincent McMorrow) and more and produced by GRAMMY Award winner Ruadhri Cushnan (Mumford & Sons, Luke Sintal-Singh, Half Moon Run, Ed Sheeran and more), Lavery describes the album as "the sound of pure catharsis."

Consistently hailed as an artist "defying the 'stereotypical singer-songwriter archetype... [with] glints of brilliance'" (The Irish Times), Lavery will make his first 2018 trip to the US this March.
