Hamilton's Kirby Creates Folk-Pop-Rock Explosion on Latest Album

Hamilton singer/songwriter, Kirby has created a folk-pop-rock explosion with his latest self titled album.  Uniting beautiful, acoustic guitar with synth sounds and a rocking rhythm section, he and his band have generated quite an impressive sound.

With his wonderful, spirited voice and excellent lyrics, Kirby has made a modern recording that tips its hat to the roots of the past. Truly, the best of both worlds.

Kirby's accompanied by a marvelous group of artists: Max Wray (guitar), Eric Thachuck (bass), Matt Burns (drums), Matthew Montour (guitars, organ, more) and Mike Yates (Strings) with Robyn Dell’unto, Tiffany Hunter and Trevor Howard helping on vocals.

This incredible album can be downloaded via his Bandcamp page.

Ghosts of Memphis Debut CD: The Devil and the Details

Local veteran musicians Trevor Howard and guitarist Gerry Finn (Helix, Killer Dwarves) have teamed up to form Ghosts of Memphis.  With this cool name, comes a really cool debut album, The Devil and the Details.

The group has created a great singer/songwriter sound with an alt-country attitude.  There's also a lot of roots rock blended in for good measure.

Every song is a lyrical story sung with Trevor's passionate voice and backed up by Gerry's stunning guitar work.  You can also hear banjos, slide guitar, piano, and much more.

The album is available as a download on iTunes and eMusic.
