Josiah and the Bonnevilles – UK and Ireland Tour

Josiah and the Bonnevilles bring their raw, heartfelt Americana to Dublin this autumn with a special stop at Whelan’s on Thursday 31 October. Fresh from releasing As Is, a collection that captures the restless spirit of the road with stripped‑back honesty, Josiah Leming’s Tennessee‑born storytelling feels perfectly suited to the intimacy of Whelan’s — a room where songs land close to the bone and every lyric feels within reach.

If you like the poetic realism of Zach Bryan or the Appalachian soul of Tyler Childers, you’ll find plenty to love in Josiah’s blend of folk‑rock sincerity and country‑tinged warmth. Reviewers of previous shows have praised the band’s “quiet intensity” and the way Josiah “makes a packed room feel like a front‑porch conversation.” It’s the kind of performance that lingers long after the final chord.

With As Is marking a new creative chapter, this Whelan’s date promises a night of storytelling at its most immediate — songs about crossroads, small‑town truths and the search for meaning, delivered with the authenticity that has made Josiah and the Bonnevilles a rising favourite among UK and Irish country fans.
