KIRSTY McGEE: With a voice that has been described as having the texture of ‘smoke and velvet’ & drawing on old vinyl blues, gospel & ’30s jazz, McGee makes music that’s hard to categorise but difficult to ignore.
In 2013 her song Sandman was featured on UK filmmaker Danny Boyle’s movie Trance & tweeted about by Emma Watson. In a long career she has worked with luminaries such as Mark Ribot (Tom Waits), Clive Mellor (Richard Hawley, Noel Gallagher), Karine Polwart and Nick Blacka (Go Go Penguin).
Twenty years on the road have taken her from the Mojave Desert to arctic Norway, touring in 11 countries & releasing 8 highly individual albums. Side projects include All the Bees (new album release December 2023).
“An unqualified celestial masterpiece and the most ineffable romantic album of the year. One to fall in love with and to.” Mike Davies, Folk Radio UK
“The Deafening Sound of Stars is an embarrassment of riches, with more lyrical depth than most… bruised by grace, Trance-like, ethereal, intimate…honest, sensitive & intelligent.” Mike Butler, Dyverse Music Blog
