To celebrate the release of her new single ‘Bright Eyes’ Susan O’Neill has announced the full details for her Irish headline tour this autumn.

‘Bright Eyes’ is the second single O’Neill has released this year following ‘Drive’ which was released this past March. O’Neill has performed ‘Drive’ across the world and recently performed it on RTÉ 1’s The Tommy Tiernan Show.

When talking about the track O’Neill says, “this song is about how eye contact can help change the feeling of someone’s sense of belonging and purpose. You don’t know when connecting with someone purely and honestly can be such a beautiful and crucial thing. The song talks about movement from a tough time into an understanding that things can change with a new perspective. It talks of the day to day happenings of someone that finds solace from a harsh reality in the eyes of others”

O’Neill will start her tour this month starting with a show at Féile na mBealtaine in Dingle ending in Kilkenny in November. She will play a total of 15 shows on the Irish tour. She has also announced eight shows with Jamie Cullum in Germany this July.

The artist will be a special guest for Calexico for their Hannover show at The Capitol as well as perform on the mainstage at the Haldern Pop festival accompanied by The StarGaze Orchestra this summer.
