DOUBLE GATEFOLD BLACK VINYL Damiens new studio album, HOLD YOUR JOY, will be released on 25TH October 2024 Featuring 16 new songs, Hold YOUR JOY, marks his first album of new music since SOULSUN in 2017.

Over the course of his remarkable career, Damien has established himself as one of Irelands most beloved artists. His work is known for his truthful and emotive lyrics, celebrating how music can move us all. Drawing influence from the likes of Bob Marley, Christy Moore, Luke Kelly and Shane MacGowan, the chart-topping singer songwriter has crafted a unique, soulful sound, centred around his powerful voice. In 2023, Damien performed 20 critically acclaimed sold out shows at the Abbey Theatre with Tales from the Holywell, where we saw one of Irelands great musical storytellers perform onstage like never before. Also in 2023, Damiens second album Seize The Day, went on to top the Irish album charts, twenty years after release, following its reissue on vinyl. This marked Damiens third Irish number one album to-date.
