The name ‘The Conchies’ comes from World War 1 and was used as a derogatory term for conscientious objectors.
We are are currently a 2 piece folk/rock, singer/songwriter combo from Glasgow, Scotland.  Our music consists of original songs and performances have turnabout lead vocals.
We have each played in many bands and solo projects over the last 20 years and have each brought our experiences to our latest venture.
Our material is unique with each song sounding different from the others. In recent years we have become more and more folk oriented .
We Love playing in random fields and festivals but we also like to come inside now and again.


I have been a fan of music since I was a kid. I always had a natural attraction to intricate melodies and catchy lyrics. Some of the most notable musicians that have inspired me over the years are: Chris Carrabba, Andrew McMahon, Chris Martin, John Mayer, Paul Simon, Neil Young, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Jimi Hendrix.

I am a sales professional and currently reside in Arlington, TX. The majority of my time goes to my job and spending time with my wife/daughters/family/friends. With that being said, I am still very passionate about music. I am a self-taught musician, singer, and songwriter focused on creating music that bleeds over into various genres. 

I created this profile to share my music and connect with other singers/songwriters/musicians. Please feel free to "Like" or "Comment" on any of my music. I am always looking for feedback!

Easy listening,
StevieB4Free
