Dave O'Grady - Bones

As I said in a recent post, I am trying to catch up with all the artists I missed writing about when not having the time to post on here.  Here is another one now.

Dave O'Grady is from Dublin is currently based in Liverpool.  Although young, he's been around a bit.  For example, he played his first show at 13, was personally selected to support Rich Robinson (Black Crowes) on his European tour, has played alongside Bon Jovi, Ringo Starr, Russell Watson, The Beautiful South and Seal, is a mentor at LIPA and, according to his website, makes the women swoon and the men jealous with gritty acoustic blues and the voice of a darkened angel. 

Bones http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Er7ki6hJ4CA from his ep Dirty Little Secret is a great example of this man's talent, although to be honest, I was spoilt for choice when it came to choosing a song to showcase here.  There are plenty to choose from on YouTube so if you have some time, take a look for yourself.

I've seen Dave play live and can recommend him although If you want to see him this year, I'm afraid you've missed your chance.  There was a show at the Shakespeare in Southport due on Saturday night, however the news on his Facebook page reveals it's been cancelled because the management are more interested in karaoke.   Tragic sign of the times.

The good news is he will be touring again in the new year.
