Ryan Giles: Ivanhoe Express | |
|||
|
Ryan Giles is an independent Australian singer songwriter from South East Queensland. A small town kind of guy who was moved around a bit as a kid, always known as 'Gilesy' and never too far away from a guitar. Inspired by the sound of the troubadours of the early 70s, Ryan has recreated a genre of folk inspired pop music with a twist of country. Ryan's vocal style is one that draws you into his daydream like lyrics which may leave you with a smile on your face, deep in thought or even staring off into space. A smooth strumming guitar and a few crafty harmonica licks are just a few things to look forwards to on his next release. Four years after the release of his first E.P 'The Daily Harp', Ryan has completed his first full length album "Ivanhoe Express" which is to be launched in December 2010. |

David Harrod: Palisade | |
|||
|
This is my first recording & new songs since 1990 (yep last century). 26 years ago I locked my gear in the shed with no plans to ever involve myself in music again. My family had decided I was going beyond crazy and bought me a new guitar... so you can blame them or thank them for this EP. |
