Simon McBride
Former Young
Guitarist of the Year.
Contemporary
blues-rock packed with energy and memorable
hooks.
Irishman
Simon McBride evokes the spirit of such great
bands as Free and Led Zeppelin; that point in
musical history when blues guitar blossomed into
a sound and an attitude of mind that defined a
generation and continues to inspire.
As both a
virtuoso guitarist and an Irishman (Hailing from
near Belfast, Northern Ireland) comparisons are
often made with Rory Gallagher and Gary Moore,
although he sounds like neither in particular,
having developed a style and a sound that is all
his own.
Simon
McBride’s talent as a guitarist is undeniable.
Simon first started playing at age 10 and,
completely self-taught, entered and won
Guitarist Magazine's Young Guitarist of the Year
competition when he was only 15, with a
performance that stood head and shoulders above
some very strong competition.
He was
immediately recruited by Sweet Savage (Vivian
Campbell, Def Leppard) with whom he recorded two
albums and regularly played major festivals.
That was 13 years ago, and since then he has
toured the world as guitarist for diverse acts,
including Grammy nominated soul-man Andrew
Strong.
Along the
way he has had the pleasure of sharing the stage
with artists like TM Stevens, Charlie Morgan,
Zorro, Hugh Burns, Slash and Steve Lukather. In
addition to such a talented player, all the time
there has been lurking behind his guitar an
outstanding voice and a talent for song writing
that has now finally seen the light of day with
the release of debut album, Rich Man Falling; a
CD of 11 original songs, and including bonus
versions of Be My Friend (Free) and Power of
Soul (Hendrix).
