November 19, 2019 – The Met, Philadelphia PA
Hozier is an Irish award-winning musician, singer and songwriter with a style of sound and play that draws from folk, soul and blues. Following the release of his new album “Wasteland, Bay!”, Hozier embarked on a lengthy and extensive North American tour over this summer. Due to popular demand, the tour was then extended throughout the fall.
Hozier and his band started the magic with “As It Was”, followed with “Dinner & Diatribes” and “Nina Cried Power”. They performed a new song “Jack Boot Jump”, along with lyrics displayed on screen, ensuring the audience not only knew but understood the message. The singer, commonly known for his religious and literary themes, “Jack Boot Jump”, is also a statement piece, or a protest song bringing awareness to the recent events that happened in Hong Kong.
The show ended with his hit song “Take Me to Church” which is a somber folk song that early on became an unlikely Top-40 smash, catapulting the Irish singer-songwriter into momentary pop stardom.
