Since his first solo work, produced by legendary composer Philip Glass, the man once dubbed “Ireland's greatest living poet” (Hot Press) has released a string of award-winning albums that showcase his extraordinary range of influences, from trad, jazz and folk to techno and classical. Resident in Manhattan and Wexford, Pierce returns home for this special intimate concert after playing Carnegie Hall to critical acclaim. Everyone knows a Turner performance is peerless.
