In the run-up to album release, Kennedy recently surprised fans at intimate pop-up shows in both Los Angeles and New York City, with more up-close-and-personal shows happening currently at record stores in the U.K. The fortunate attendees in the U.S. were treated to a mix of originals and thrilling covers, with NYC’s event landing fittingly on St. Patrick’s Day - watch a clip HERE. It was also just announced that Kennedy will perform at the U.K.’s Radio 1’s Big Weekend on Sunday, May 24, alongside Olivia Dean among others on the main stage.

The Weight of the Woods was largely written and recorded at a studio near Kennedy’s home in rural Ireland, alongside close collaborator Gabe Simon [Noah Kahan, Lana Del Rey]. Additional material for the album was also recorded at Simon’s studio in Nashville. Across its 14 tracks, the album’s poetry and music draw inspiration, energy and strength from Kennedy’s native Ireland.
