JOE CHESTER – NEW ALBUM ‘THE EASTER VIGIL’

RELEASED FEBRUARY 24^TH 2017 ON BOHEMIA RECORDS

LEAD SINGLE, ‘JULIETTE WALKING IN THE RAIN’, RELEASED JANUARY 6^TH

Renowned Irish singer, songwriter, and producer, Joe Chester, announces the release of his 5th studio album, The Easter Vigil, for February 24th 2017. The album is preceded by the lead track, Juliette Walking In The Rain, which goes to radio today.

As well as releasing 4 widely acclaimed albums, Joe has written, played, and produced for numerous acts, including Hozier, Gemma Hayes, The Coronas, Mundy, and Ryan Sheridan, to name but a few.

‘The Easter Vigil’ will be released on the, newly formed, Bohemia Records, who will also re-release Joe’s albums The Tiny Places Left Behind, She Darks Me, and Hope against Hope.

What started as rough mixes, after a lengthy period of reflection and writing, very quickly became the foundation of the album. Within a few days – less than a week in fact – piano, guitar and vocals, all relatively raw and unfiltered, made the cut. Joe asked friends and long time collaborators to lend their talent to the project. Cellist Vyvienne Long and violin by Steve Wickham add a subtle flavour foregoing superfluous embellishment.
