Hi, I'm Chris and I am a research scientist by day and a songwriter in my spare time. I joined SC in 2013 and I mainly record acoustic guitar and vocal harmonies, but also like playing electric guitar, bass, keyboards and using drum loops.

My musical influences include Syd Barrett, Neil Young, Peter Gabriel and Paul Simon, and increasingly fellow SoundClouders; My favourite bands include Yes, Supertramp, Pink Floyd, Rush and Steely Dan, and I also listen a lot to The Beatles, Elton John, The Who, Van Morrison, Genesis, King Crimson,  Jethro Tull, Sparks, Stevie Wonder, The Grateful Dead to name but a few...

Anyway, please feel free to get in touch - I can make any tracks (in whole or in part) available if you want them for collaborative reasons, or if you just want them for your mp3 collection :)


Stampede Road is the work of Fochabers born singer songwriter Graeme Duncan and his Edinburgh based band of Daniel Crichton (guitar), Sam Dick (drums) and Harry Fisher (bass). 

The four piece spends many an afternoon with pots of tea transforming the acoustic tales of Duncan and mixing them with plenty of harmonies, reverb soaked guitars, and a clubhouse mentality that aims to create the type of folk, rock and pop songs that have been lost since the 1960's.
