Eagle-Eye Cherry has announced dates for a UK and Ireland tour
The Swedish singer-songwriter will bring his new tour to Dublin with further sets at the Acoustic Festival of Britain, London, Sheffield and Glasgow also being announced. His new album Streets Of You was released in October, a single with the same title was released back in May.
The musician is best known for his hit single ‘Save The Night’ and for a string of acting appearances throughout the 90s and 00s. He also notably co-wrote and sang on ‘Wishing It Was’ from Santana’s classic 1999 album Supernatural.
After considering giving up his artistic career, Cherry decided to switch management and move to Nashville where his fifth album was conceived.
“I had begun to appreciate being anonymous again. Being able to hang around with my family. Play football on weekends. In addition, like many other musicians of my generation, I felt quite lost to the new era of streaming songs instead of albums,” reflects Eagle-Eye Cherry today, adding: "I was eager to co-write with other songwriters and had tested it in Los Angeles, but I simply did not communicate with that town. Nashville, on the other hand, I totally loved. The general attitude, the fact that Nashville still breathes music through all the veins, that one can always go out and listen to live music. But not least that everyone applauds the one who succeeds. I got the lust back, reached a strong “aha” feeling.”
The full list of upcoming tour dates are as follows:
