A secret garden rocker shows Dublin what they've been missing for 150 years.
On 20th July 2010, Josh Ritter & the Royal City Band performed a two hour show at the Iveagh Gardens in Dublin spanning Josh's full catalogue. The Iveagh Gardens is a set of beautiful public gardens in Dublin, Ireland. This was the first time there had ever been a rock show there.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Iveagh Gardens had hosted zero rock shows in its 150+ year history until Ritter — the Dublin Parks Department basically let an Idaho folk singer break the seal.
Ritter's setlist pulled from seven albums, but early-career deep cuts like 'Snow Is Gone' got the biggest crowd reactions — this was a hometown crowd in disguise.
