'My Portion' - I Draw Slow

The Extended Play Sessions - July 23, 2024

I Draw Slow perform the song "My Portion" on The Extended Play Sessions. Like most artists during the pandemic, Dublin, Ireland based I Draw Slow was forced to put their tour career on hold in the spring of 2020. Independently they suffered the loss of loved ones to COVID and weathered the subsequent months of grief. When the band was finally able to reunite in 2021 in a farmyard studio in the Dublin mountains to record their new album they found themselves and their music fundamentally changed. The traditional Irish and Appalachian influences that informed I Draw Slow’s prior releases were augmented by a much wider range of influences, including sixties pop, cinematic soundscapes and the funereal jazz of New Orleans.

The Band:
Louise Holden - vocals
Dave Holden - guitar, vocals
Adrian Harton - violin, backing vocals
Colin Derham - banjo
Konrad Libby - upright bass
