Damien Dempsey released new double album ‘Hold Your Joy’ in October 2024 after a seven year wait. Honest, vulnerable, poignant and essential, the album has 16 intricate and beautifully crafted tracks. Produced by long-time collaborator John Reynolds, Hold Your Joy is undoubtedly the most complete body of work Dempsey has committed to tape in his entire career. The album follows the release of his documentary ‘Love Yourself Today’ in 2021.

Damien Dempsey writes songs about social issues with a remarkable passion and openness, enabling his live audiences and fans to let go. His importance as a singer and songwriter of great passion, conviction and beauty has never been more prominent. He is that rare gem of an artist, an ex boxer – with the soul of a poet, whose heroes and influences are as diverse as Christy Moore, Shane McGowan, Luke Kelly and Bob Marley.

With themes of addiction, loss but also hope and positivity, Dempsey’s music often reflects his fans’ pain, alleviates their anguish and ultimately provides peace as they ‘sing all their cares away’. Damien Dempsey’s debut album in 2000, They Don’t Teach This Shit in School, set him apart as a unique and important voice. The follow-up, Seize the Day, marked the beginning of his relationship with producer John Reynolds, producing many more albums, picking up awards and leading to extensive international tours.
