Menhirs of Er Grah (Thom Carter) is a singer from London. His music is an emotional and intensely personal collection of journal entries, odes to nature and bitter-sweet love songs, inspired by the acoustic sound of the 1960’s and 70s.
Selected press:"He has a vast intelligence on what it means to be an artist… something completely original and enlightening". (Comfort Comes, 'Different World' review).
“The sound is, to put it simply, quite beautiful’”. (Free Albums Galore).
"If you are looking for hot coffee in the morning through music, let the rain pour down upon you and the beans brew for a half an hour with Tom Carter….This album could surely act as the muse to a better day, maybe even a better existence… Menhirs Of Er Grah is exactly the sort of musician’s artist the world has been awaiting”. (Comfort Comes, ‘Mourning Dove’ review).
"Minor chord strumming and gently picked melancholic melodies… almost brought me to tears". (Davide Styles, ‘Blues Matters’).

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
