Luke Daniels

“A River Runs” -  “Just like picking up a book, he gets the marks for the best CD package I’ve every received, beautiful quality paper, folk-meets-country-meets Americana” -  Marie Crichton BBC Radio Shropshire

"Intense, poetical and oft dark yet recounted through pleasing melodies. A rich tapestry has been woven into the songs; like a thoughtful unpicking and re-stitching of life’s journey." - R2 Magazine

The Guardian (3 STARS) Luke Daniels: What’s Here What’s Gone review – a thoughtful, original set (Gael Music/Proper)

Nothing that Luke Daniels has done in his illustrious 20-year career could prepare his followers for what’s coming next. The admirable new album What’s Here What’s Gone is the sound of a folk musician fearlessly converting from melodeon virtuoso to accomplished singer-songwriter.

The album is both a compelling collection of outstanding songs and a bold call to arms, one Daniels has felt driven to make. To immediate effect, too: ‘What’s Here What’s Gone’ although not due for release until October has already been praised far and wide and won the early support of Mark Radcliffe on his BBC Radio 2 folk show.

Daniels, born in Reading but now based in Glasgow, has forged a reputation over the past two decades as one of the folk world’s most respected multi-instrumentalists — both as frontman, on a remarkable series of albums in his own name, and as an in-demand melodeon player for the likes of Ian Anderson, De Dannan, ‘Riverdance’ and as a regular in Cara Dillon’s band. He was also a soloist with the London Philharmonic Orchestra on the Howard Shore soundtracks for ‘Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit.’...Read More

“Plainview” -  Very well know songwriter, this brand new album is brilliant, this what an album from a male artist should be all about” -  Marie Crichton BBC Radio Shropshire

Home Town: Dickson, Tennessee Tn

Award-winning songwriter/Nashville recording artist, Bernie Nelson.

Bernie's songs have sold in access of over 25 million records spanning a 30 year period . His voice and deliverance of one of his songs makes it easy to see why he is so busy performing all over the country as an artist.

Bernie Nelson may appear as a "new name" on country radio as a recording artist but, Nelson is certainly no newcomer to the country music scene. A staple in the music industry and the country music songwriting community, Bernie Nelson is one of the A-list "go-to-guys" for good songs. His voice can be heard behind hit songs scored by some of country music’s biggest names. With more than 25 million records sold, "Bernie Nelson" songs have appeared on projects recorded by the likes of Kenny Chesney, Chris LeDoux, Wynonna, Conway Twitty, Randy Travis, Kris Kristofferson and many more. Bernie scored his first No. 1 with "Daddy Never Was The Cadillac Kind" (Confederate Railroad) which is now a country music standard celebrating "Million-Airplay" status (BMI). He’s most recent successes include cuts by Mark Wills ("Looking For America"), Jimmy Van Zant ("C’Mon Man"/"Unfinished Life"), Montgomery Gentry ("Damn Baby") and Tracy Lawrence ("The Ride"/"Heaven For A While").

Bernie Nelson compositions are like an old pair of boots and a familiar friend–well-worn and comfortable. His plain and simply truthful lyrics are timely yet timeless. His newest unfiltered thought-provoking track, "Scarecrow," from his debut national CD titled BLUE, released Aug 11, 2014 (Inlay Art – CD - CDBaby - UK iTunes - Amazon.com )  has a familiarity that will recall trends of the past while the future forecast calls for "no rain" in the crop fields, in heart and in soul.
