Ranagri – Say Hello Tour
Ranagri's Say Hello Tour heralds a
bold new era for this award-winning indie folk band, bringing their signature
cinematic, prog-infused folk music to venues up and down the UK this Autumn.
With five studio albums under
their belt, a wealth of international touring experience, and standout
appearances at major festivals, Ranagri have built a formidable reputation on
the global stage, captivating audiences from across Europe to Australia,
Montreal and New Orleans. Now, they turn inward, reconnecting with their roots
for what promises to be their most evocative and personal tour to date.
Steeped in stories of Ranagri –
the farmland in rural Ireland from which the band takes its name – their new
album explores themes of migration, identity, and the enduring search for the
meaning of home. It is a work of depth and resonance, shaped by lived
experiences and a profound sense of place.
Renowned for their commanding live
performances, the band delivers a sound that is both intricate and expansive.
Soaring vocals, rich harmonies, and driving rhythmic energy intertwine with
masterful instrumentation – flutes, whistles, harp, bodhrán, hammered dulcimer,
percussion and guitars – forming a virtuosic and immersive soundscape around
lead singer Dónal Rogers. The result is a musical experience that feels at once
intimate, powerful, and unmistakably anthemic.
