Rainy Boy Sleep AKA Stevie Martin is Upstairs in Dolans on Saturday October 11th - songs of love, loss, hope and redemption, and a wry sense of humour, as well as lyrics that are every bit as sharp as his pop hooks. Its no surprise that in March 2014 he signed a record deal with Universal Music. Rainy Boy Sleep was delighted in 2011 to pick up a Northern Ireland Music Awards ‘Best Solo Act’ nomination, and even more delighted with the glowing endorsement he received earlier that year from Snow Patrol’s Gary Lightbody. The A-list rock support doesn’t end there, with James Morrison and Cyndi Lauper both taking Stevie out on tour with them. It was great being around two million-selling artists who are so supremely professional whilst still absolutely in love with what they do, reflects the singer. The best/scariest thing about the Cyndi Lauper tour was getting to sing ‘Time After Time’ with her in front of 3,500 people at the Hammersmith Apollo. To go from tiny club shows where it was just me and my guitar to that was insane – but good insane! Seeing big audiences connect with you like that is such an amazing feeling.
