Jim Lauderdale in Dublin, 3 Mar. 2015

Thanks to Paul Foley for the news that - just as he did after his appearance at the Belfast Nashville Songwriters Festival last year - Jim Lauderdale (USA) will be coming to Dublin on Tuesday 3 March to play a solo show at Whelan's, Dublin 2. The show is presented by the Ubangi Stomp Club; tickets are €15, available in advance from WAV tickets at 1890 200 078.

As the Whelan's blurb says, 'Jim Lauderdale is a multiple Grammy® and Americana Music Association Award-winning musician and one of the most respected artists working the Americana, bluegrass, and country music communities today.' In this photo, taken at IBMA's World of Bluegrass in 2010, Jim is shown with Niall Toner.
