Baltimore native Josh has been bringing a brand new rockabilly energy to audiences throughout the USA recently. Daryl Davis, pianist for Chuck Berry, has remarked, “Josh Christina is the future of Rock‘n’Roll”. Following the release of his first album, Josh’s talents also caught the attention of Nashville-based producer Kent Wells (Dolly Parton), who immediately got to work with Josh on his second album, Good Old Love, (released in March 2015).  The pair quickly teamed-up again to create the fantastic current EP, I’m 21.

After a scorching debut Irish TV performance on The Late Late Show last September, Birr Theatre & Arts Centre is delighted to be one of the few chosen venues on his Irish tour.

Josh Christina, Birr Theatre & Arts Centre, Saturday 20 May, 8pm. €20 Tickets: www.birrtheatre.com Box Office (057) 91 22911
