The Heartweights duo take to the stage of esteemed local original Tampa venue, "The Independent" on sun feb 1st.
Expect lots of new songs, and old studio songs never played live so anything could happen.
Expect material from the upcoming mini album, "Burn after listening" as well their latest single(released Friday!), "She runs rings"
From solo to now duo, the band is working towards a full band
5 piece sound to do the songs justice and to give Cormac a break from the all looping, tap dancing show...
Cold weather or not, the band will perform tomorrow at The Independent, sun feb 1st, 630-830. Bring your long johns xx

It’s always nice to hear yourself on the radio and especially from good friends and supporters in Ireland.

Roddy played three songs from the EP, which is very much appreciated and had some very kind words for this bashful Irish USA transplant
