A fun new initiative by Jack Daniels, that we hope takes legs with other area’s of Ireland too because it’s an intriguing proposition, is the JD Roots which today launched with the announcement, that they will have three of Ireland’s top alternative acts, Delorentos, The Minutes and We Cut Corners come together for one special unique show.
The unique prospect awaiting you is a one off free live show that we see these three, very different acts go into a room together and explore the artists and songs from their hometown in their unique styles. So these acts, all of very different styles and background will come together and produce a one off live show for FREE on May 18th in The Button Factory.
The night will comprise of a selection of songs from their own set lists as well as a selection by Dublin artists who have made the greatest impact on their music. This concept is also being launched in the UK with The Horrors, The Cribs and Twin Atlantic which will take place in May.
Tickets for this exclusive JD Roots performance at the Button Factory are FREE and are available from Monday 2nd April on www.jdroots.ie. All those who register will go into a draw for tickets. Closing date for entries is Friday 4th May. A limited numer of tickets will also be available on the Jack Daniel’s Ireland Facebook page.
Speaking at the Irish launch of JD Roots, Delorentos co-lead singer, Ronan Yourell, said,
“We are genuinely excited about the chance to work closely with two of Dublin’s great new bands, The Minutes and We Cut Corners, on JD Roots. Dublin as a city and a place has a magical and powerful history, something which has had a massive influence on all of us for different reasons. Through our conversations to date, we’ve all got just a little bit excited about the possibilities and the chance to pay tribute to some of the artists, which have been shaped by Dublin was too tempting to resist for all of us. The challenge will be to settle on a shortlist of songs and then brining something new, fresh and personal to them. It should be a really exciting live show.”
