Michael Bublé swapped the stage for the crowd this week as he enjoyed a musical date night with his love, Luisana Lopilato, in the Irish capital.
The singer, who impressed the crowds at Malahide Castle on Saturday after a surprise gig, got to enjoy a show himself at the Trinity Summer Series and was ‘blown away.’
In photos from his and Luisa’s night on the town, which also saw them catch up with Modern Family star Eric Stonestreet, Michael and Luisa beamed smiles as the music played.
The couple went to watch rising country-rock star Stephen Wilson Jr, whose debut album søn of dad includes tracks such as Gary and I’m A Song.
Stephen was back in Dublin to perform in the Trinity Summer Series at Trinity College Dublin after a sold-out headline show at The Academy, and by the sounds of it, it was quite the show!
Singing Stephen’s praises, Michael said: ‘Date night with my girl… and what a night it was! Stephen, you’re the real deal. Last night I was blown away.
‘The band was smoking, you sounded unreal, and I can’t say enough about your depth, humility, and your ability to truly connect with your audience.’
Michael added that there was only one problem with the night – he didn’t manage to pick up what he was hoping to from the merch stand.
He said: ‘The only downside was I wanted a Gary hat at the merch stand before the show. Lu said, “Get it on the way out.” Well, not only were there no hats left on the way out but literally all your merch was sold out too!!!!
‘So now my head is cold, someone else is out there living my best life in MY Gary hat, and I’m trying not to let it overshadow one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time.’
Finishing his post, Michael said: ‘Eric Stonestreet, thank you for introducing me to Stephen. You’re the best. P.S. We did get a rainbow, which was nice, but I’d have traded it for a Gary hat.’
It’s been a busy week for Michael, with Irish shows in Dublin and Limerick behind him.
He’s now set to play Belsonic in Ormeau Park in Belfast on Wednesday night before heading to the UK for a show at Lytham Festival in Lancashire on July 3.
