Flannery is a singer-songwriter from Cork, Ireland, whose music AllMusic describes as “rootsy” and “folk-influenced.” His Bandcamp calls him “one of Ireland’s most acclaimed songwriters and singers”; across eight studio albums, three have reached No. 1 in Ireland. He is known for story-led writing and emotionally engaged performances that can move between self-deprecating humour, heartbreak, and joy. The Irish Times has praised his “way with lyrics” and “understanding of melody,” while the Boston Globe wrote that he “has mastered the art of subtle persuasion.” His collaborations include the album In the Game with Susan O’Neill, as well as work with Anaïs Mitchell, Valerie June, Tianna Esperanza, Lisa Hannigan, and Jenn Grant.
The Bitter End has been a fixture of Greenwich Village since 1961, known as one of New York City's oldest rock clubs. It's a modest basement club with a stage and a bar, where the audience sits close to the performers. The room has exposed brick walls and a rustic feel, and the atmosphere is warm and conversational. Shows are typically ticketed with a small cover charge, and the evening combines listening to live music with casual conversation and drinks. The venue has hosted legends like Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell, and continues to be a place where songwriters and musicians share new material. It's a steady, reliable spot for live music in the city.
