Gerry
Music for me is a form of storytelling and communicating. I tend to write about things that happen to me or the people close to me. I find I must truly be able to connect and put my heart and soul into performing it - otherwise the song is'nt "mine". Music is an emotion - and without it in a song serves no purpose. One of the biggest influencial bands would be The Blue Nile -their album "Hats" and "Peace at Last" are complete masterpieces - Paul Buchanan of the The Blue Nile would be one of my heroes, along with Joni Mitchell, U2, Springsteen, Wilco, John Mayer, Ryan Adams, aswell as other artists like Emmylou, Daniel Lanois etc. All these artists inspire me time and time again. I listen to alot of American artists.....but at the same time, i'll always consider my roots to be in irish music.
