The Delines will make a welcome return on May 4th 2025 in support of their 4th album, released February 2025. This will be The Delines only Irish date next year.
Willy Vlautin has been a regular visitor to Kilkenny since his first visit in 2004 with his band Richmond Fontaine. In recent years he has played here with hisnew project The Delines featuring the exquisite vocals of Amy Boone.
Their debut record, COLFAX, appeared in 2014 and surprised fans and critics alike. Evoking a beat-up Dusty Springfield or a weary Rickie Lee Jones, COLFAX made over a dozen top ten year end lists. It was a four-year wait until their sophomore effort, THE IMPERIAL was released. Singer, Amy Boone spent much of that time in hospital beds recovering from serious injuries sustained in a car accident in Austin, Texas. When she was just strong enough to stand she finished THE IMPERIAL, a record that spent two weeks on top of the UK official Americana charts with the band playing sold out shows across the UK and Europe. The band returned with their cinematic third album THE SEA DRIFT which Americana UK and BBC6 Gideon Coe both made their ‘Album of the Year’.
Willy Vlautin is no stranger to critical acclaim, enjoying cult success and rave reviews from the likes of the New York Times, Washington Post, Uncut, Rolling Stone and Mojo, both as a musician and a novelist with seven books under his belt. Two of his books have become major films with another currently in production with Netflix for release in 2025.
