Sounds from a Honky Tonk
A Live Country Music Dance Party hosted by Amanda Bergman
Part of Sounds from a Safe Harbour
Ready for a boot-scootin’ good time? Whether you’re a seasoned honky-tonk pro or a first-timer, grab your boots and get ready to dance at Sounds from a Honky Tonk—a lively celebration of country music hosted by Swedish singer-songwriter Amanda Bergman.
Born out of a love for line dancing, storytelling, and the spirit of community halls, this special Cork City event will transform the stage into a cozy, beer-lit dance floor—part tribute, part nostalgic throwback, and all heart. Amanda and a star-studded lineup of musicians from this year’s SFSH residency will lead the charge, delivering twangy ballads, foot-stomping anthems, and soulful tearjerkers. Imagine Nashville with a Cork twist, served with a wink and a whole lot of groove.
Expect a mix of timeless country classics from icons like Gram Parsons, Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams, Dolly Parton, and others, performed by a rotating cast of festival favourites, including The Staves, Sam Amidon, Ye Vagabonds, La Force, Charlotte Cornfield, David Kitt, Caroline Rose, Memorial, Victoria Canal, and a few surprise guests.
This is an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind performance—a fusion of your cousin’s wedding, a dream bar straight out of a Lynch film, and a barn dance you never want to end. Whether you’re two-steppin’, swayin’ at the bar, or tucked in a corner soaking it all in, Sounds from a Honky Tonk invites you to let loose, love a little louder, and dance your heart out.
