Vicar St, 5th December 2015.
The Jerry Fish Electric Sideshow is taking to the road for select dates this winter. Confirmed for Vicar Street on December 5th with Jerry as ringmaster and playing live with his band, dancing girls, strongmen, contortionists and musical guests like Dublin’s finest rock ’n’ roll renegades The Minutes, New Orleans Funk Street collective Stomptown Brass, blues troubadour Johnny Stewart and the latin party hurricane that is the San Patricio Mariachi Band together with special guests.
With a career spanning over two decades Jerry Fish has spent much of his life on the road, a constantly evolving artist who has always favoured innovation over orthodoxy. Throughout the 1990’s he was the main creative force and front-man of the alternative rock band An Emotional Fish, giving us the anthem ‘Celebrate’. Once he left the constraints of the four-piece rock format however, he found a whole universe of music suddenly become a tangible and touchable prospect: New Orleans funk, Noir Soundtracks, Punk Latino, all manner of Odd Mondo Scenes and Broken Mambo Jive. His widely adored upbeat music includes the hit ‘True Friends’ and two platinum selling albums ‘Be Yourself’ and ‘The Beautiful Untrue’.
“Roll up! roll up! Jerry Fish’s majestic, magnificent and at moments macabre “Electric Sideshow” delivers all manner of musical delights and wonders. The wild show features everything from circus performers to one of the most lively and engaging artists in Ireland right now. A ringmaster of exceptional renown, Fish has evolved into a showman extraordinaire, not to be missed.” — Hot Press Magazine
