Kristy Cox | Ireland 2019
Nine Days. Nine Gigs. Her Inaugural Irish Tour. Ours Too#KristyCoxIreland2019
Our very first tour. Months of planning for nine shows over as many days. Shows in six working or converted church venues, some almost 300 years old. Radio station studio time. Unexpected rendezvous, even a shared stage, with fellow touring grassers. Castles, both to ogle at and to sleep in. And epic scenery, the kind Ireland does like only Ireland does.
New experiences. New fans. New friends.
Welcome to our three-part media-heavy — pictures, video, media snippets, interviews, venue low-downs — recap of #KristyCoxIreland2019.
#KristyCoxIrleand2019 | Gig 6. Nenagh Arts Centre, Nenagh, County Tipperary. May 16, 2019
#KristyCoxIreland2019 | Kristy Cox & Band with Travis List and the mygrassisblue.com Team (minus Siobhán) at the end of the tour in the Unitarian Church, Dublin. May 19, 2019.
