ODES OF FEAR & WONDER FROM IRISH AMERICANA TROUBADOR


NORTHERN Ireland songwriter Marty Thompson has released his debut EP and debut music video.
Marty has been building up a reputation as a versatile troubadour over the past four years since he first took to the stage during an interval at a friend’s gig.
His debut EP ‘Escape From Nowhere’ is out now and documents the method singer’s fear and wonder on four tracks of infectious Americana music.
Each of the tracks bring something different to the table and through his vocal-splice of indie sneer and country twang you can tell the man has lived every word he sings.
He told Circle Magazine how he first got hooked on music.
Marty said: “I knew music would play a big part in my life after visiting my uncle’s house when I was little and my uncle was watching Live Aid 1985 video, and Neil Young was playing when I walked in and thought he was unbelievable.
“I started playing guitar in the nineties when the whole Indie boom kicked off and that influenced me a lot.”
As well as Oasis, Marty said his other influences include Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Simon and Garfunkel and The Beatles.
Marty has just released his debut music video for the first track on his EP ‘Dancing In The Rain’ which can be viewed here: Dancing in the Rain
