| Brendan Mccloud http://www.brendanmccloud.com/ Brendan McCloud’s debut CD, On the Edge of Time (Ancient Futures). The songs tend to be an amalgamation of Celtic overtones, soft rock and some sort of ethereal, digital experience... The CD starts off in an Arthurian way with "Lady of the Lake" -- I'm sure that those of you familiar with Avalon will enjoy it as much as I do. "Song for Leonardo" is a little slower in tempo, but every bit as good. "Blues for Meriwether Lewis" is almost ballad-like. For some reason I can picture Phil Collins singing "Love Overdrive." I can't put my finger on exactly why this is, but the resemblance is almost uncanny! My favorite song is "White Heat." There is a little hook in the background that just kind of grabs you. I also like the guitar playing. I wish I had McCloud's talent" - Wil Owen, Rambles.net - A Cultural Arts Magazine - (Read more) |

| Mighty Ghosts of Heaven http://www.mightyghostsofheaven.com/ Portland, OR's Mighty Ghosts of Heaven approach old-time music with knowledge and reverence, but still recognize the modern filter through which they experience it. Inspired by the experimental, original, and inventive musicians of the early recording era, the Ghosts add their own unique sound to the songster tradition. The material chosen, and occasionally written, by the Ghosts is broad and rich, with the songs easily moving from jug band blues to child ballads, from stomping dance tunes to delicate dirges. Stark and close vocal harmonies are the driving force of the Ghosts music while a diverse combination of instruments, including ukuleles, mountain dulcimer, fiddle, tenor banjo, guitar, standup bass and a myriad of percussion are used in arrangements that emphasize texture and tone. Kati Claborn and Gus Smith started singing together in the bayside town of Bellingham, WA. In 2000, they began performing with dulcimer and baritone uke, and were soon joined by Aaron Shear, establishing the ukulele as the backbone of what became Mighty Ghosts of Heaven. Shortly before relocating to Portland, OR in 2005, Linnea Spitzer added her uncommon and adventurous fiddling to the Ghosts' sound. Most recently, they have been joined by Andy Sheie on percussion and Lucas Jones on bass. - (Read more) |
