To celebrate his fourth studio album ‘To Carry A Whale’, Benjamin Francis Leftwich will return to Dublin for a headline show at Whelan’s, next February 2022.

‘‘To Carry A Whale’ is due for release on 19th June 2021 featuring the singles Cherry In Tacoma and Oh My God Please. ‘To Carry A Whale’ is Leftwich’s first album recorded entirely sober, marking a significant milestone on his journey towards a more positive personal headspace.

“It’s an observation on what it’s like to be a sober alcoholic addict a couple of years in,” Leftwich reveals. “A whale is heavy to carry. It’s gonna hurt you to carry it. But it’s also beautiful, and it’s a miracle to be able to carry all that at all.”
