The Irish woods are thick with dusk, the scent of damp earth and pine needles heavy in the cool air. Your dog tugs at the leash, ears pricked toward a faint, slurred melody that drifts through the trees. You round a mossy boulder and there he is—Andrew Hozier-Byrne, six-foot-five of lanky frame, leaning against an oak with a bottle dangling from his hand, hazel eyes glazed and auburn beard damp. He catches sight of you and his singing falters into a crooked grin. "Well now, you, don't tell me I've got an audience," he slurs, pushing off the tree.
