IRISH SONGSTRESS RÓISÍN O JOINS THE CORONAS

AS SPECIAL GUEST FOR NORTH AMERICAN TOUR

The Coronas’ New Album “Time Stopped” Debuts at #1 on

Irish Charts During First Week of Release

Covid-Delayed Tour Kicks Off Tomorrow in Toronto

Irish singer Róisín O, whose solo album COURAGEOUS was released in the spring to positive notices, is joining Ireland’s popular band The Coronas as their special guest on their covid-delayed tour of North America. Róisín will join the popular Irish band as their support act as well as playing keyboards and singing backgrounds on their headlining shows. The tour kicks off tomorrow (November 2) at Axis in Toronto and runs through November 19.

During her support set, Róisín O will showcase songs from COURAGEOUS, a ten-song collection of original material that charts a course through love, heartbreak and redemption, all having taken shape during the isolation of the pandemic lockdown. Riffmagazine.com wrote of her: “Her vocals rise and roar, like high tides closing in on you—a flood of emotions and the only way out is to go through. Stunning and moving.”

TIME STOPPED, the aptly titled new album from The Coronas, was released on October 7 and debuted at #1 on the Irish album charts the following week. It is the third consecutive Coronas album to do so, following TRUST THE WIRE (2017) and TRUE LOVE WAITS (2020). TIME STOPPED, the band’s 7th album, bears a through line of hope by addressing the pandemic head on via 11 original songs. It is available on the band’s imprint SoFarSoGood Records (distributed by Blix Street).

The Coronas recently released the latest of several music videos from the new album, this one for the song “If You Let Me.” You can view it here: https://youtu.be/efLzZz9IHr4

Known for high energy live performances and audience singalongs, it is not surprising that The Coronas, comprising lead singer Danny O’Reilly, bass guitarist Graham Knox and drummer Conor Egan, were named #1 Live Act of the Year in Ireland’s Hot Press 2022 Readers’ Poll. In addition to Róisín O on keyboards, well-known All Tvvins guitarist Lar Kaye, who plays on the new album and has also appeared on other Coronas’ recordings, joins the trio on the road.
