Micah: Headline gig in Whelans in Dublin
Tipperary singer / songwriter Micah is set to headline at Dublin’s Whelans on August 19.
Ahead of that, she will play a gig in HMV, Henry Street, Dublin, this Sunday, August 13, from 3pm.
Both gigs coincide with her latest release, Blame, in which she discusses difficult situations with friends, workmates etc. It highlights parties not being able to take accountability for their actions and trying to bully the other side without recognising such toxic behavior.
"Blame is a song that addresses the challenges of dealing with a controlling and bullying individual within a difficult environment. Through the song I am urging this individual, who will remain nameless, to be introspective: ‘I am not here to take from you in any way’.
"However, this person passive aggressively bullied me and made my life very difficult. I eventually recognised the motivations behind their actions and they were projecting onto me.
"This song resonates deeply with me as I nearly internalised those negative aspects and blamed myself for the situation. However, upon reflection, I realised that it was their issue to bear, and I made a firm decision not to let them hurt me any longer," says Micah.
Alongside her national TV appearance on RTE’s ’Last Singer Standing', write-ups in icon magazines such as ‘Hot Press’, the Tipperary born singer-songwriter is going from strength to strength. She has had performances in Dublin’s Fibber Magees supporting Raging Sons and TV appearances on The Caitriona O’Sullivan show. She also charted in the Dutch Top 40 chart, along with airplay/streams in The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, New York and Japan.
Her Spotify streams are over 185k and she also had one of her tracks used as a TikTok dance. She has also had airplay on national radio stations such as RTE 2FM, Spin 1038 (one to watch), Spin SouthWest (track of the week) Red FM and many more. Working with renowned composers such as Gavin Murphy, she is going from strength to strength.
Her headline show upstairs in Dublin's iconic Whelans, tickets €16, will culminate with the release of her newest tracks and her upcoming EP.
Her music is based around a variety of themes: finding faith, falling for someone, struggling with anxiety, depression, passive aggressive bullies and so on. However, it is Micah’s live vocals that have always captured audiences from events such as the Rose of Tralee.
She is a vocal powerhouse and so it will be a show not to be missed.
