Multi-award-winning band Ye Vagabonds will release their fourth album All Tied Together in January, and play Galway’s Black Box on February 27.
Recorded live in a house in Galway, with acclaimed producer Philip Weinrobe (Big Thief, Adrianne Lenker ) at the helm, the powerful and cinematic album features evocative original songs infused with memory, tribute, and gratitude.
Their first single from the album ‘On Sitric Road’ is out now.
Throughout, a strong sense of home prevails, both their own hard-won digs, past and present, and an inner refuge for anyone longing for connection beyond time and geography.
“All these songs have addresses,” says co-frontman Diarmuid Mac Gloinn. “They’re about specific locations and specific people.” Diarmuid and his brother Brían Mac Gloinn cite fiction writers George Saunders and Claire Keegan as particular inspirations on this record.
The brotherly harmonies and multi-instrumental abilities of the Mac Gloinns were joined on All Tied Together by multi-instrumentalists Shahzad Ismaily (Laura Viers, Cass McCombs ) who flew in from Brooklyn, Alain Mc Fadden, Caimin Gilmore, Kate Ellis, Sam Amidon, Romain Bly and Louise Gaffney.
