Irish musician Dermot Kennedy returned to Melbourne for two big nights at The Croxton, with support from the city’s own Gretta Ray.

Last in town for a show at Howler (March 2018), Kennedy noted that the size of the venue was the biggest jump he’d yet made. The audience appreciated the quick return to the Australian shores, too – singing along to Spotify hits like “After Rain'“ and “Glory” and welcoming tracks from his 2019 self-titled debut.
