Billie Marten

Billie Marten brings her biggest tour to date to Belfast, in support of acclaimed new album Dog Eared.

Released in July, Dog Eared is a warm, rich and textured record that bristles with confidence and self-belief.

The prolific singer-songwriter recorded the album in New York in Summer 2024 with producer Phil Weinrobe (Adrianne Lenker, Buck Meek, Laura Veirs) and an all-star cast of musicians.

The likes of Catalan singer-songwriter/guitarist Núria Graham, bassist Josh Crumbly, virtuosic guitarist Mike Haldeman, multi-instrumentalist Shahzad Ismaily, revered indie-rock musician Sam Evian, former Dirty Projectors vocalist/folk musician Maia Friedman, Brazilian percussionist Mauro Refosco, drummer/multi-instrumentalist Vishal Nayak and acclaimed folk musician Sam Amidon sprinkle their gold dust over Dog Eared.

Since the release of Billie’s fourth LP, 2023’s Drop Cherries, Billie’s largely spent her time on the road, honing her craft as a deeply instinctual artist and songwriter. Living and learning. Playing and writing. Collaborating with gifted strangers. Exploring questions of identity and self. All the while, sending demos and voice-notes across the Atlantic to Weinrobe and watching those embryonic songs come to life and flourish fully-realised in the studio.
