There is a distinct kind of magic that happens when a gritty, open-hearted Irish troubadour steps onto a historic French stage. Last Monday night, Dublin singer-songwriter Dermot Kennedy brought his highly anticipated The Weight of the Woods tour to L’Olympia in Paris, turning the iconic, red-velvet clad venue into a cathedral of collective catharsis.
