Sounds from a Honky Tonk
A Live Country Music Dance Club hosted by Amanda Bergman
As part of Sounds from a Safe Harbour
Whether it’s your first rodeo or not, it’s time to dust off your boots and join Sounds from a Honky Tonk - a celebration of country music hosted by Swedish singer-songwriter Amanda Bergman.
Born from a love of line-dancing, storytelling, and beer-soaked community halls, this one-off Cork City special transforms the stage into a cozy, beer-lit dance floor - part tribute, part throwback, and all heart. Amanda, alongside an all-star crew of musicians from this year’s SFSH residency, will lead a shindig of twangy ballads, foot-stomping anthems, and tender tearjerkers. Think Nashville by way of Cork, with a wink and a whole lot of groove. Expect to hear beloved country gems from legends like Gram Parsons, Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams, Dolly Parton, and more, sung by a rotating cast of festival favourites including The Staves, Sam Amidon, Ye Vagabonds, La Force, Charlotte Cornfield, David Kitt, Caroline Rose, Memorial, Victoria Canal, and some surprise guests.
This is a very special one-of-a-kind show, somewhere between your cousin’s wedding, a Lynchian dream bar, and a barn dance you never want to end. Whether you're two-steppin', swayin’ at the bar, or hiding in the corners soaking it all in - Sounds from a Honky Tonk is your invitation to let loose and love a little louder.
