Keith Greentree played "First Glance" on BBC Radio Norfolk on Sat Aug 27, 2016 (BBC Page) saying "this is great song by Gary Quinn written and sung by him, a great guy...I am so loving that, what a great British artist, brilliant live"
Having
received praise and an array of awards for his eponymous debut album, Gary
teased the release of his new body of work with the single 'Shame', that was
preimiered by The Boot earlier this
year. A mid-tempo, traditional-sounding track with a prominent drum beat,
'Shame' sets the tone for the most personally insightful release from the
multi-award winner.
A native
of Northern Ireland, Quinn cites U.S. country artists such as Brad Paisley, Hal
Ketchum and more as influences, while he has shared the stage with acts such as
Kristian Bush, Clint Black and songwriter Bob DiPiero.
Having
garnered support international praise for 'Shame', Gary is excited to finally
unveil his long-awaited EP. Of the project he states,
“I’ve gone for the EP title of ‘I Remember’
as I feel that it wraps up the feel of the EP pretty well. It’s a very personal
project and the tracks cover different times in my own life though to now, so
it’s almost a reflective piece of work. ‘I Remember’ also comes from a line in
‘Each Night You Lie’ which features on the EP.”
“It’s an EP that I’m really proud of, both to
have had the experiences to write about and the quality that producer Thomm
Jutz and my co-writers David C Banning and Nick Nichols have brought to the
songs. One of my favourites on the EP is ‘Body Language’ as it’s just a little
bit fun but equally I love ‘The Best Man Won’, but folk will just have to
listen to find out why.”
As heads
out on the road next week with Luke
& Mel, fans had a chance to hear
the EP first hand and learn more about the story behind the songs.
