Hobo Johnson & the Lovemakers will return to Dublin in January 2019 to headline Vicar St following their sold out show in Whelan’s last July.

Sacramento, CA alternative hip-hop artist Hobo Johnson aka Frank Lopes Jr released ‘The Rise of Hobo Johnson’ in November 2017,  which was written during a timeframe when he was living in his ’94 Toyota Corolla – hence his self-given pseudonym.

In April ’18, Hobo Johnson released Peach Scone (both the studio and live version), which debuted on Spotify’s New Music Friday. The single comes on the heels of Hobo Johnson’s “Peach Scone” live performance video, which was posted online as a submission for NPR’s Tiny Desk contest. The video of the then unreleased track got Hobo Johnson much more attention than expected racking up over 14.6 million views on Facebook and YouTube. And their fervent new fans boosted the 2017 The Rise of Hobo Johnson album to #8 on the iTunes Hip-Hop chart and #11 on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart.

Hobo Johnson & The Lovemakers “The Bring Your Mom European Tour” Vicar St, Dublin 28 January 2019. Tickets priced €23 go on sale this Friday 12th October at 10am through www.ticketmaster.ie& usual outlets nationwide.
