Laura Elizabeth Hughes – Dublin and Cork Shows Have Just Been Announced

Since her self produced and recorded EP We, Myself, I in 2021, touted as her finest and most honest work to date, Laura has been quietly working on a larger project; wanting more autonomy over the whole process and wanting to challenge herself personally and artistically. That piece of work is Knots & Echoes, Laura’s debut album released in October.

Given a 5* review by the Irish TimesKnots and Echoes expands Hughes sonic palette, always maintaining her signature intimacy while exploring new sounds and emotional depth in a distinctly LEH style. Produced by long-time collaborator Cian Sweeney (Birds of Paradise studio), and with the support of The Arts Council Agility Award, this body of work continues Laura Elizabeth Hughes‘ reputation as one of Ireland’s leading songwriters for emotive storytelling.

On Knots and Echoes:
Knots and Echoes moves through the push and pull of youth and memory, where home is as much an inner landscape as it is the people and places we return to, some of them not being easy places to exist in. These pieces follow the quiet imprints others leave behind, the knots we tie, carry, and slowly work loose, through to the self-reckoning that comes with trying to carve out a space of our own. Connection, loss, and the steady but tentatively open armed shift toward selfhood run through each track; the past shaping the contours of the present for better or worse.”

On stage is where Laura feels most at home and truly connects with her audience. She is currently on tour with Bell X1 for select dates across their sold-out Irish Winter acoustic tour.

Knots and Echoes is available across all digital platforms and on limited edition vinyl release from select record stores and Bandcamp.
