SIMON DOHERTY sounds like a young Elvis Costello and promises to be much talked-about this year. Simon is a twenty-three year old contemporary singer-songwriter from Glasgow whose ten years of writing has seen a thorough grounding in a traditional and classic sense of the art go hand in hand with an attention to a wealth of more eccentric artists and forms. What you hear is a command of musicality that harkens the ethereal, cerebral, irreverent and sincere, in pursuit of a song utopia. Backed by a supremely dynamic and entertaining band, Simon Doherty aspires to be all he can on a stage near you.
‘A seriously talented singer-songwriter’ (Vic Galloway, BBC Radio Scotland)
‘Simon Doherty may be better than Elvis Costello’ (The Stool Pigeon)
