This spring sees Stephen James Smith embark on his 3rd tour of the UK & Ireland. However this time he will be on the road with a band and visual artist (Steve Simpson) as he performs poetry.
The 9 track album was recorded during lockdown in Co.

Stephen is the first Irish artist they are working with.
