One of the hottest up-and-coming bands on the international music scene, Ireland’s The Script, will play Jannus Live on Sat., Oct. 30. The Dublin-bred trio’s single “Breakeven,” with a soaring vocal by Danny O’Donahue, currently sits at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Tickets go on sale Friday.

The Script’s music boasts the kind of artful twists sure to turn all preconceptions on their head. This is a whole new brand of Celtic Soul, blending hip-hop lyrical flow with pop melodiousness, state-of-the-art R&B production with anthemic rock dynamics, classic song construction with gritty contemporary narratives. It’s got all the emotion and passion you would expect from across the Irish Sea, but it is glittering in its modernity and universal in its sing-along addictiveness — music for the feet, heart and head. Think U2 vs. Timbaland, Van Morrison remixed by Teddy Riley.

“Irish people have soul,” according to Danny. “It comes from generations of pain, and generations of understanding emotion to be able to physically get that in a solid sound.”
