Sfumato album launch will take place on Saturday December 1st in the Unitarian Church on St. Stephen's Green and is an all-ages concert.
Sfumato will be a 12-piece band for the night including, but not limited to, a mini 3-piece gospel choir, a string section and an uileann piper. It promises to be a rich and varied musical experience in a spellbinding setting which will warm even the coldest of hearts.
Support on the night is from the wonderful Mumblin' Deaf Ro'.

Some press for Sfumato...
+ "Melodic and soulful..” - Siobhan Maguire (Sunday Times)
+ "Beauty.. Lovely, moving.." *** - John Meagher (Irish Independent)
+ "Rich blasts of harmony.. an unquestionably easy listen..” *** - Lauren Murphy (The Irish Times)
+ “It's epic, yet intimate; heartfelt, without lacking perspective; it’s perceptive but aches with world weary humility; and it is one of those rare albums that emerges perfectly formed from a personal crisis." - Mumblin' Deaf Ro
+ “A worthwhile venture from behind the kit has led to a beautifully crafted and delivered opus of heartache. Passionate and precise in pace and delivery, and all with a wonderful glow. A must!” - Stephen Purcell (www.WeAreNoise.com)
+ “These Things Between is an ambient and sonically engrossing album. Sfumato creates a textural characteristic to his music that evokes the artistic imagery of his namesake.” –Stephen White (www.TheBlend.ie)
+ "..spell-weaving.. the first time he has stepped out from behind the kit and put his deliciously weather-beaten voice to work. A soaring, charging love song of the purest kind.." -Celina Murphy (HotPress)
+ "Basically it’s all of the good “hush now, baby, don’t you cry” parts of Pink Floyd songs, complete with some of the most shimmering guitar you’ve ever heard." - VICE
+"..a blissful, elegant album. Dodging between vibrant, joyous choruses and soft ballad like moments, tinged with a delicate melancholy. It gently winds its way into your brain, where it’ll quietly stay put." - Mel Reeve (Gold Flake Paint)
+"This is a brain-expander, and goodness knows I need it.. its songs walk down the line between familiarity and otherness.. If you’re into something a little outside your comfort zone, Sfumato should be one place to check out." - Stephen Carradini (Independent Clauses)
