An intimate evening of songs and stories from the life of a travelling troubadour.

Martin Praetorius has been a regular visitor to the Irish shores for over 25 years. After several years of touring without a fixed base, he now spends most of his time in Ireland, connecting with folk and trad musicians alike, learning, collaborating and exploring.

His latest release 'Down to the sea' finds him working with the great Clare Uilleann Piper Blackie O'Connell.

With a keen sense of the situation, Praetorius fuses a unique blend of folkrock, Americana, Celtic influences and storytelling into a larger framework and takes his listeners on a journey.

Although inspired by many of the great songwriters, and often sharing the stage with well-known acts from the international songwriting scene, Martin Praetorius presents his own style, singing short stories that aim point-blank, straight at the heart.
