Biography for Sinead O'Connor

The Australian
"As usual, O'Connor demands our attention...impassioned...glowing...she's still as relevant as she is colorful."

Hot Press
Hard to believe, but Sinead O'Connor, the wonderfully affecting and uncompromising musical artist is coming to Australia for the first time ever. Each concert is destined to be a very special evening of soul-searching, joyous and redemptive music.
With or without her band in tow, Sinead O'Connor live is a force to be reckoned with (note: her band will be joining her on this tour). As Pitchfork Media recently said about one of her live performances, "a great singer singing great songs... O'Connor is a master of dynamics, turning her body into a personal mixing board with violent shakes of the head, swooping arm gestures, and childish hopping up and down."
The Australian national tour is in support of her new double album, Theology. The album is a collection of mostly new and original songs - beautiful music which deals in universal themes from Sinead's personal point of view - love, spirituality, reconciliation, and knowledge mixed with her unique observations on life. As The Sunday Independent in the UK said, "Theology is the best record Sinead O'Connor has made for years."
Coming to international attention and wide-spread acclaim with The Lion And The Cobra (1987) and I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got (1990), Sinead is one of the most iconic and influential Irish artists of modern times. In the course of over twenty five years of music making, she has produced an enduring body of work which has been both commercially successful and critically acclaimed on a global scale. One of a small band of recording artists who can truly be classed as maverick, she has intuitively ploughed her own furrow, trusting instinct rather than following fashion, and above all else, being honest and true to herself.
Don't miss this very rare chance to share an evening with one of popular music's most captivating artists, as she explores the full spectrum of beauty, love and life's essential truths.
