Irish top ten vocalist Declan O'Rourke will perform an album release show for 'Mag Pai Zai' at the Cutting Room in NYC on September 25. The enchanting melodist's album will be released via digital download September 24 and nationally distributed on CD October 8. Paul Weller has said of O'Rourke, "He writes the sort of classic songs that people don't write anymore, songs that sound like they've been around forever." Last week, the Wall Street Journal premiered the first song from 'Mag Pai Zai.'

Earlier this year, Jon Pareles reviewed O'Rourke's set for the New York Times as part of the seven nights of sold out shows at the Irish Arts Center in April: http://nyti.ms/10DGE7G
