It’s no secret that the Irish have a rich musical heritage.
For a country of just under 5 million people, the Emerald Isle has produced a proportionally high percentage of the world’s greatest musical story tellers, from Ed Sheeran and Hozier to U2. But not all of Ireland’s favorite acts have secured phenomenon status overseas too—yet.
Enter Picture This, an Irish band who played 5 sold-out nights at Dublin’s 13,000 seat 3Arena in March, whose music has garnered hundreds of millions of plays across platforms and who’s sent the country of Ireland into an enamored frenzy since their debut in 2015. The duo, comprised of singer Ryan Hennessy and drummer Jimmy Rainsford, came to fame largely by chance. Though the pair were childhood friends, they didn’t begin their musical collaboration until October 2015, when Hennessy uploaded a video of “Take My Hand” on Facebook, where it eventually garnered over a million views. Impressed by the song, Rainsford reached out to Hennessy to discuss collaborating, and Picture This was born.
Now, the band has finally brought their cinematic song writing and infectious beats to North America, where they performed 17 shows from Toronto to LA. Before their New York show at Irving Plaza, the group stopped by Popdust to talk with Editor Brooke Johnson about
The Phantom of the Opera, the missing letters in the title of their new album, and whether or not they would kiss Post Malone.
