Grant Campbell

New Album 'Beyond Below' release late 2007.

About Me

Born in Glasgow in 1979 and raised in a sleepy satellite town I first began playing guitar when i was about 14 years old and started writing a few years later. I played in various bands until i was 21 then began doing mainly support solo slots for touring American artists.
My first album 'Postcards from Nowhere' was a collection of songs i had recorded at home on four track and was released in 2005 on a small Glasgow label.
A new record 'Beyond Below' will be released in 2007, the finer details of with who and when is as yet to be decided.
'Slow, simple, unadorned and powerful' - Sunday Times - Album of the Week
Evoking Micah P Hinson and Bruce Springsteen, gravelly Glasgow troubadour Grant Campbell is an inner-city cowboy, a brambly folk Romeo: a quiet delight to behold.
His enchanting 2005 debut album, Postcards from Nowhere, was recorded at home in Glasgow. Its a gentle, exquisite exposition of amber ranch canticles and scorched alt-folk lullabies: it is unadorned, potent, gruff and wonderful. - Triptych 06
' 13/13...this is one of the best debuts of years passed, a real hidden treasure that must be found by all' - Room Thirteen - Daniel Bristow
'A voice and writer to watch' - Net Rhythms
'It thaws one out as simple emotions are being articulated in elegant simplicity' - Paul Davis
'He may be a little country, a little bit rock'n'roll, but all of his songs have an emotional honesty that cuts straight to the heart' - Sunday Herald
