Kieran creates a full sound and an immediate rapport with his audience.Glasgow’s new solo album “Harvesting Time” was released in December 2008. His songwriting and performance is always engaging and this album is no exception.“..Great little swinger of a number. He's got a train backing him and the engineer is hanging out the window playing the accordian while he is not shoveling coal. Great voice, rounded mellow yet can run up the higher parts of the range while keeping it sounding strong and steady. Makes me kind of wish I had of taken those line dancing lessons at the Warragul scout hall..”Triple J Unearthed User Review of “Learn Those Lessons” from Harvesting Time.Kieran’s previous EP “Broad” was released in 2007 with the single and video clip “Wasn’t Just The Drugs” receiving radio airplay, programming on the ABC’s Rage.

Kieran’s use of the instrument showed another face of steel guitar performance and technique..”Aileen Bell - Coonabarabran Arts CouncilKieran plays regular original gigs when in Sydney at venues including the Sando Newtown, The Hopetoun Hotel and The Basement and will be touring Qld, NT and WA throughout winter 2009.Kieran's album Harvesting Time can be purchased at all live gigs and through www.kieranglasgow.com and iTunes.Kieran's previous EP with his band GLASGOW & The Fourth Wall can be purchased at itunes
