Charley

Written for a movie idea maybe one day it'll come about but this was conceived, written & recorded in one weekend which I think was amazing if I do say so myself. Using my Les Paul Gibson, Fender Mustang, Ibanez Bass, Yamaha keys/piano and of course my beloved Marshall amp. I love the purposely haunting keyboards and deep feeling crying guitar, maybe live one day.

My Angel Above

This song is based off of an article in the New York Times called "The lonely Death of George Bell". Please give it a read if you're interested: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/18/nyregion/dying-alone-in-new-york-city.html?_r=0


HUUUUUUGE thanks to Nick Watt for his mad skills on the steel guitar and for recording this. This will be my first sound cloud release that wasn't recorded  on my i-phone. Yaaaay! 

Hope you enjoy!

Remembering George Bell

Until The Sun

I was born and raised in Derry, Northern Ireland. My Great Grandfather Johnny Graham, was a renowned traditional Irish Fiddler. I’d like to think I might have gotten some of his touch in my own fingers. There was a small wooden guitar around the house with strings missing. I don’t remember playing it, I just remember it being there.

I was raised on my Fathers record collection. I first noticed the guitar on a 7″ record of “Layla” by Derek and The Dominos, the sound was pure magic. Later on I heard Angus Young play to the crowd with his right arm raised in the air & I made my mind up. That was another push in a long consecutive line of little pushes leading me in the direction of the guitar. The last push I required was returning home one day feeling sorry for myself, I went to my room and there it was gathering dust in the corner. I can still see it, my neglected friend. By now I had received a Candy Apple Red Stratocaster for Christmas. I reached for the guitar and I never left it down again.

I now live in New York City in the East Village. I have had the honor of playing & sharing the stage with some of the best musicians in the world.

I am currently working on my own album.

Thank you for being a witness.
