After two headline Irish tours on her 125cc scooter, Caoi de Barra is leaving the bike at home and hitting the road with a full band for the first time this December. The line-up features bassist/guitarist Caoimhe Hopkinson (Allison Russell), multi-instrumentalist Aidan Floatinghome, and in a surprise twist, acclaimed songwriter Wallis Bird on drums.

Best known as a founding member of Wyvern Lingo and as drummer for Allison Russell and Wallis Bird, Caoi has been releasing music under her own name since 2022, with a sound that blends candid lyrics, soulful guitar, and soaring vocals — de Barra's sound takes inspiration from Lianne La Havas, Jeff Buckley, and Unknown Mortal Orchestra.

Tour Dates:

Dec 2 – Dublin, Grand Social Ballroom

Dec 3 – Limerick, Dolan’s Upstairs

Dec 4 – Kinsale, Prim’s Bookshop

Dec 5 – Ahakista, Arundels by the Pier

Dec 6 – Waterville, Tech Amergin

Speaking about the shows, Caoi says:

“The fact that the stars are aligning, and that I can get all of these incredible players together to do this tour is a haire-brained scheme come true. It’s gonna be so so special, I can’t WAAAAAIT to play these shows!”
