Hozier, courtesy.

Any fans of Irish folk singer-songwriters out there? Born in County Wicklow on St. Patrick’s Day, 24-year-old Andrew Hozier-Byrne has released two EPs and is currently working on a full-length debut. The comparison mentioned in a press release I received was to a male Adele. I think Hozier is more of a Damien Rice or Glen Hansard. Either way, take a listen.

Check out his American TV debut, Tuesday on Letterman.

If you’re in San Francisco on May 21, you can see him at the Chapel. Other upcoming dates:

May 17                 Toronto, ON                       Rivoli

May 20                 Los Angeles, CA                Troubadour

May 23-25           Quincy, WA                        Sasquatch! Festival
