Gráinne Hunt

A concert by Irish vocalist and songwriter Gráinne Hunt at The Live Room@Caroline Social Club in Shipley. The act is a queer nu-folk project within modern Irish folk, with pop, rock and indie elements in the music.

Gráinne Hunt is an Irish vocalist and songwriter who describes the act as queer nu-folk. Her original songs draw on personal experience and turn to identity, pain, longing, resilience and joy. The emotional directness and storytelling have prompted comparisons with Tracy Chapman and Natalie Merchant.

She has performed on stages alongside Glen Hansard and U2, and has opened for Gladys Knight and Eagle-Eye Cherry. Recent work with Nashville-based drummer and vocalist Jules Stewart has produced a sound built on harmonies, heartfelt stories and close stage chemistry. She has toured in the United States and Australia.

The Live Room, at Caroline Social Club in Shipley, hosts concerts and shows, and this date brings Gráinne Hunt's songs to the venue.
