Video: Hozier got an amazing reception at a gig in Montreal last night

The Bray man’s star continues to rise

The Bray man’s star continues to rise.

He’s deserving of everything that’s come his way of late, but we doubt that even in his wildest dreams, Hozier would have imagined the path his career has taken in the last year or so.

From having ‘Take me to Church’ feature in a Beats by Dre ad with LeBron James to performing with Annie Lennox at the Grammy Awards to starring in a music video alongside one of the hottest actresses in the business, it’s been quite a whirlwind for the Wicklow native.

His profile has, unsurprisingly, skyrocketed globally as a result and just look at the reaction of the crowd in Montreal to Hozier performing ‘Cherry Wine’ to a Canadian audience last night.

Montreal, you floored me tonight. Absolutely levelled. Thank you.
