IRISH singer-songwriter Damien Rice is returning to Malaysia for a show.

Damien Rice – Live in Malaysia will be held on June 7 (Wednesday) at Plenary Hall, KL Convention Centre.

Rice started playing and recording with his band Juniper before embarking on his solo career. In 2002, his self-produced debut album O reached No. 8 on the UK Albums Chart and won the Shortlist Music Prize.

Songs such as ‘Cannonball’ and ‘Volcano’ have reached the Top 30 in the UK.

From the same album, ‘The Blower’s Daughter’ also charted in 2004 and has been used extensively in various films like Closer and television series.

The album was notable for its stripped-down instrumentation, raw emotion and haunting melodies.

 His second album 9 followed in 2006, and after various collaborations, his third album My Favourite Faded Fantasy featuring the single ‘I Don’t Want to Change You’ was released in 2014, peaking at No. 1 in Ireland and the UK.

Known for his introspective and emotionally raw songwriting style, Rice’s music is characterised by his acoustic guitar and unique vocal style.

Ticket are priced at RM388, RM488, RM588, RM688 and RM788. For more information, go to www.lushington.com or Instagram/Twitter @Lushington_Ent. – The Vibes, May 26, 2023
