Sampling new music: Chris Ward and Simon Stewart

 

With its focus on celebrating an eclectic range of more or less well-known musicians, Music for Grown-Ups doesn’t normally cover up-and-coming musos.

But, in the spirit of the winter Solstice, here are sound samples sent by readers from two musos you’ll probably never have heard of, but might decide to investigate further.

Thanks to Martin Grant for recommending Chris Ward, who gigs in Donegal, Martin’s ancestral home:

And to Simon Stewart, who says: “I am a singer/songwriter very much inspired by the musicians that you cite (especially Dylan and Cole Porter; and Tom Waits!). I thought you may be interested in hearing my songs.

“Longman Records is releasing my debut album in June 2007. I thought I'd let you know in advance. The album is produced by label founder Richard Durrant (an excellent concert guitarist).

“Longman are currently offering two of my songs as free downloads at:

www.longman-records.com/

“There are also a further two available for purchase.”
