Damien Rice Tickets - Alternative and Indie 

“Irish singer and songwriter Damien Rice grew up in the countryside of Celbridge, County Kildare.  Damien Rice moved to Tuscany in March 99.  Writing music and painting were Damien’s passion. During 1996 & 1997 Damien was determined to put a band together as well and in 1997 the heavy, indie-rock sounds of Juniper were signed to Polygram in 1997 and “”The World Is Dead”" and “”Weathermen”" played well on Irish radio.  When it came time to recording a full-length album, contractual rules from the label prevented Juniper from doing so, so Rice split. Damien travelled around Europe around this time, busking the streets. He arrived back to Dublin a year later, recorded his demo and sent it off to renowned producer and film composer, David Arnold (Bjork, James Bond). Arnold liked what he heard and provided enough money for Damien to buy his own mobile studio.  His first single, “”The Blower’s Daughter’, was an instant top 20 hit when it appeared in fall 2001. Shared gigs with McAlmont & Butler and folkie Kathryn Williams followed in summer 2002 when Rice released O in the UK.”

In September 2001 Damien released The Blowers Daughter, in Ireland, the first single to be taken from the, as yet unfinished, album. The single went top 20 and was used for the 2004 film Closer. His ensuing tour was also a resounding success.

His first album O was released on February 1 2002 and was eagerly lapped up by critics and audiences alike. A major six-week tour of Ireland followed along with dates in the UK, Germany, France and Spain. Damien was nominated for Meteor Irish Music Awards and a BBC Hot Press Rock Award. O has since achieved platinum status in Ireland. In the UK, constant gigging, festival appearances at Glastonbury, V2002, Edinburgh Fringe, plus supports with McAlmont and Butler, Counting Crows and Kathryn Williams, have all helped establish Damien as a must see live act.

Damien has recently appeared as guest on Later With Jools Holland! alongside Moby, Badly Drawn Boy and The Sugababes.
