Jerry Fish, indie legend, showman extraordinaire and ringmaster of exceptional renown, is back with his first LP in 15 years. The new album entitled Dreaming of Daniel featuring MayKay (Fight Like Apes) is a labour of love for Jerry, featuring songs by the late, great Daniel Johnston.
“I felt compelled to record and release an album of Daniel’s work, not alone is his lyrical wit and honesty an inspiration to me and a multitude of artists the world over, we have so much fun performing his songs live. The album ‘Dreaming of Daniel’ captures the joy we experience on stage performing Daniel’s songs, it’s infectious.”
Jerry Fish is one of Ireland’s most enigmatic and entertaining performers with his now legendary live shows, a unique live theatrical experience that dissolves all boundaries between performer and audience.
Jerry Fish blasted onto the music scene in the 1990s touring the globe as front-man of alternative rock outfit An Emotional Fish, the band who gave us the indie rock anthem “Celebrate”.
These days the name Jerry Fish is synonymous with festivals, carnival sideshow, circus and theatre. Jerry has curated and run his own circus tent and area called The Jerry Fish Electric Sideshow in Fish Town at Ireland’s biggest music and arts festival Electric Picnic for the last 12 years.
“Our live performances are a mix of music, theatre and the spirit of the carnival. Wherever I go, the circus is never far behind. I am from a long line of clowns and the first to realise it.”
Join Jerry Fish as he embarks on the Dreaming of Daniel album tour. Performing songs from the new album, alongside a selection of his greatest hits, in a celebration of his unique artistry and the life of one of Ireland’s greatest showmen.
