James Guilmartin – “A journey in life and music†James Guilmartin is a singer songwriter and percussionist who has played extensively on the Dublin music scene for the last 8 years.
Having played alongside the likes of Damien Rice, Kila, Paddy Casey, Jenny Lindfors and Robotnik and having been privileged to be asked to play on the albums of the latter two, in tandem James has been working on his own body of music which has now culminated in the birth of his seminal album “Spirit of Haumâ€.
Inspired by a passion and energy for music from an early age. James spent his teenage years writing songs and poems and living out these visions in his imagination. Underlying the music of James Guilmartin is the quest of looking for the simple beauty behind everything. While musical history is littered with individuals searching for self realisation and universal harmony James has pursued a simpler path, travelling to the heart of himself and his life experiences through the medium of the music to uncover that simple beauty. It is a dangerous but rewarding journey using rhythm and incantation to invoke the journey. It is this journey experience that so enthrals live audiences and strangers to his performance quickly find themselves captivated by this experience.
Emerging from this fertile plain of imagination and quest James hit the live music scene armed with an acoustic guitar and his unyielding passion. Gigging at every available opportunity James absorbed himself into the experiences he encountered honing his technical skills and deepening his understanding of music.
Now boldly stepping out from the crowded musical landscape of introspective singer songwriters and guitar driven rock bands James has delivered a debut album “Spirit of Haum†which captures in both the name and music James’ passion for honesty, truth, originality and beauty. Exploring new areas beyond standard formats and utilising distinctive instrumental passages and impressive vocal harmonies, James’ music heralds a bold and exciting departure from the “herd†appealing to an increasingly sophisticated audience that demands more from music. James Guilmartin now points to new future for real aficionados of music. Like fine wine for the true connoisseur, the music opens up its secrets and real quality the more you listen to it.
