After a busy year touring the world off the back of the release of her debut album, ‘Notes For A Maiden Warrior’ Ireland’s rising folk artist Dani Larkin announces brand new tour dates around Ireland in Spring 2023, and her debut nationwide Irish tour.
The release of her debut album in June 2021 triggered an almighty trajectory for this young emerging folk artist - appearing live at SXSW, Reeperbahn, Doolin Folk Festival, WOMEX, Folk Alliance, Hibernacle to name a few, as well as opening for such acts as Wallis Bird, Declan O’Rourke, Hot House Flowers and Ye Vagabonds on their nationwide tours.
Her debut album has taken her all over the world, performing for audiences in America, Canada, England, Wales, France, Germany, Portugal, Ireland and Scotland.
This year coming shows no signs of slowing down with her debut Australian live tour set for March 2023, with appearances in the diary for Port Fairy Folk Festival, Blue Mountains Music Festival, Yackandandah Folk Festival and headline shows in Melbourne, Sydney, as well as her debut shows in New York set for February with the Irish Arts Center and tours in North America and France later in the year.

Pipped by RTE Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, Double J (Australia) and Folk Radio UK as a rising star on the Irish folk and alternative scene, the last few years have been a breakthrough for this emerging alt-folk artist, with 2023 shaping up to be an even bigger year with new music on the way and several debut global live tours.
Nominated for ‘Best Single’ (2022) ‘Best Album’ (2021) at Northern Ireland Music Prize, and 'Best Emerging Artist' at RTE Folk Awards (2021), Dani Larkin has been an artist picking up speed with each release, and one that has been making her mark on the industry, in her own way.
An artist renowned for her unforgettable live performances, her magical songwriting with her vocal always taking centre stage, accompanied by her impressive guitar and banjo playing. Larkin has the ability to blend the old and new perfectly through her songwriting, delicately weaving themes of Celtic folklore with the more modern day landscape of her own experiences.
