When Irish blues and folk-rock singer-songwriter Hozier played the Dos Equis Pavilion on Sunday, his song “Too Sweet” was at the top of theHot 100, the first No. 1 song by an Irish artist in the U.S. since Sinead O’Connor’s “Nothing Compares 2 U.”, but it was easy to see at his Dallas show why Hozier has become a rock star for this socially conscious generation., well-loved for his 2013 single “Take Me to Church” but not known for much else.
A highlight of the set was"Wildflower and Barley," which features Americana singer-songwriter Allison Russell, who is, fortunately enough, the opening act on this tour. Her fanbase was well-represented in the crowd and she was enthusiastically welcomed back to the stage for both “Wildflower and Barley” and “Work Song” in the encore.It’s fitting that Hozier’s best-known song is “Take Me to Church” because many of his songs feel like a religious experience in a live setting.
When the stage finally went completely dark, the calls for an encore had already begun. It took a little longer for the members of the audience closer to the front to realize that he had taken his guitar to a platform in the middle of the room. The back half of the crowd had the best view of his acoustic performance of"Cherry Wine.”
