It’s been three years since VH1 last aired an episode of their acclaimed performance series Storytellers, but the show will make its grand return 2015 with a new slate of artists and a tinkered format: For the first time, the concerts will be broadcast live on VH1. First up is singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, who will perform January 24th from Whelan’s in Dublin, Ireland.
Another addition to this season of VH1 Storytellers is that the musicians will pick and perform at a venue that has personal meaning to them. Sheeran chose Whelan’s because it was at that intimate theater where he watched Irish singer Damien Rice more than a decade earlier, a concert that Sheeran credits with changing the trajectory of his life.
