TPOE 389: How I Became a Wave

Cork artist Pat Carey calls himself the creative director of How I Became a Wave, who release their self-titled debut album on Friday, March 27. Lush in strings and pedal steel, the nine-track album features contributions from some of Ireland’s most accomplished musicians and featuring string and piano arrangements by Cormac McCarthy (RTÉ Concert Orchestra). Carey says: “I have sat with these songs, pulled and pushed at them for what seems like a decade now. It's taken that long to come to a place where I can sit comfortably with my own voice, where I can embrace both the vulnerability and strength of authentic self expression.” Buy the album: How I Became a Wave tour dates: Sunday, March 29: Whelan’s, Dublin (supporting Joan Shelley) Sunday, April 12 - afternoon and evening shows at Coughlans, Cork Friday, April 17: Unitarian Church, Dublin Sunday, April 19: Prim’s Bookshop, Kinsale Thursday, April 30: The Ghostlight Sessions, Balor Arts Centre, Donegal Saturday, May 16: Levis' of Ballydehob
