PAUL MCCANN 'ALTER EGO' ALBUM LAUNCH

TOWNHALL THEATRE CAVAN, SATURDAY 29th APRIL 2023

Paul McCann is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Cavan, Ireland. Paul has played many high-profile gigs around the world including the Cavern Club in Liverpool, Nashville, multiple appearances at the Electric Picnic festival and much more. Paul has also performed with Rufus Wainwright, Pugwash, The Strypes and Nelson Bragg (Brian Wilson Band/Beach Boys), Sandy Kelly among others. Following many years of performing with numerous artists and bands, Paul has been carving a solid solo career for himself since 2015. Following two acclaimed EPs (The Magician in 2015 and Beginning to End in 2017) and the wonderful murder ballad single ‘Widow Maker Blues’, Paul released his debut album ‘Here Comes the Rapture’ in 2018. The album was met with praise from many reviewers, with The Irish Times’ Tony Clayton Lea citing: "with his debut offering McCann comes into his own... 10 exuberant songs.... Here Comes the Rapture has flawless influences...McCann delivers a collection of taut tunes.... numerous dingers here that well and truly hum”. With his upcoming album titled ‘Alter Ego’ (due in 2023), Paul chronicled his grief following the sudden death of his father in late 2018. Where previously McCann had played most of the instrumentation himself, the format of the second album is somewhat different and features guest appearances from a number of high-profile musicians including Jason Falkner (St. Vincent, Beck, Paul McCartney); Roger Joseph Manning Jr (Beck, Jellyfish, Air); Sylvie Lewis; Charlotte Hatherley (Ash, Bat for Lashes); Gary Lucas (Jeff Buckley, Captain Beefheart) and many others.
