Lisa Hannigan will be familiar to many of you as Damien Rice’s duet partner and background vocalist. However, since Rice broke up with her, both on personal and on a business level, she has been up to her own thing. She released an album in 2008 titled Sea Saw which is indeed a gem. Luckily I took the chance to see her live in Oxford around that time.
Her second album Passenger reached number one in the Irish charts. It was released in the US, Canada and the UK last autumn and will be released in Germany on February 24 via Play it again Sam / Rough Trade. To celebrate this Lisa Hannigan will play an acoustic solo show tonight at Schokoladen.
Here’s two tracks from the album, one a free download.
