Gary Stewart is a singer-songwriter from Perth in Scotland who cut his teeth performing on the Leeds music scene, before moving to York where he currently resides. Stewart writes songs in the folk/pop style and is influenced primarily by the prominent singer-songwriters of the 1960s and 1970s, with Paul Simon as his biggest inspiration.
The Scottish songsmith has released four albums to date, with his latest offering Use It Or Lose It due for release in October this year. The album was recorded in a little barn studio in the Yorkshire Dales and features collaborations with Seth Lakeman, David Ford, Alex Hart, Ellie Gowers, The Magpies and Graham Coe (Sam Kelly & The Lost Boys). His debut record, Boy Cries Wolf, garnered much praise from Janice Long and was played on Radio 2 courtesy of Steve Lamacq. The left-hander is also no stranger to the festival circuit, having played Kendal Calling, Green Man, Deershed and Beardy Folk Festivals to name but a few.
When not performing and recording his own music, the multi-instrumentalist busies himself playing bass for Leeds-based Fleetwood Mac tribute, Weetwood Mac (ex-Ellen & The Escapades) and fronts his own reworking of Paul Simon’s classic album, Graceland, with a seven-piece band who have played many a theatre and festival, including Shrewsbury, Towersey, Costa Del Folk, Moonbeams, and Underneath The Stars.
Tonight, expect to hear a mix of Gary’s back catalogue and songs from his new album, interspersed with some of Paul Simon’s best-loved hits.
