ABOUT KIERAN GLASGOW
Born of the alternate country music scene, Kieran’s sound and song writing is a mature fusion of roots, folk and blues music. Influenced by Paul Kelly, Ryan Adams, and Harry Manx, Kieran combines acoustic guitar, foot percussion and lapsteel guitars with a wonderful voice to create his unique sound.
Raised in the working class town of Cessnock, NSW with a Celtic heritage, Kieran Glasgow comes with an honest and down to earth approach to his music. Kieran creates a full sound and an immediate rapport with his audience.
Glasgow’s new solo album “Harvesting Time” was released in December 2008. His songwriting and performance is always engaging and this album is no exception.
“..Great little swinger of a number. He's got a train backing him and the engineer is hanging out the window playing the accordian while he is not shoveling coal. Great voice, rounded mellow yet can run up the higher parts of the range while keeping it sounding strong and steady. Makes me kind of wish
I had of taken those line dancing lessons at the Warragul scout hall..”
Triple J Unearthed User Review of “Learn Those Lessons” from Harvesting Time.
Kieran’s previous EP “Broad” was released in 2007 with the single and video clip “Wasn’t Just The Drugs” receiving radio airplay, programming on the ABC’s Rage. It was also added to SBA Music’s “Indignation” compilation and Nightlife’s video distribution.
He was a featured vocalist on the Australian feature film “Em 4 Jay” directed by Alkinos Tsilimidos and was also producer/project leader of a compilation CD entitled “Blossom” of poetry, songs and storytelling with disadvantaged people.
Kieran’s most recent musical experiences include a tour of regional NSW, Vic, SA and Qld with highlights including the 2009 Adelaide Fringe Festival, Tamworth Country Music Festival and the Yackandandah Folk Festival. Kieran has also performance at the 2007 Peats Ridge Festival as winner of the Vanguard Newtown Band Competition and the 2006 Surry Hills Festival.
“..It is not often that performers set groups so much at ease and we all appreciated this in him. He is quite a wordsmith and musician and people were so impressed with his steel guitar. Kieran’s use of the instrument showed another face of steel guitar performance and technique..”
Aileen Bell - Coonabarabran Arts Council

Hindsight's a wonderful thing, ain't. Having said that, I'm starting to believe that things occur when they're supposed to. You probably wouldn't have valued it as much back then.
