ALBUM LAUNCH PARTY AT THE ENTERPRISE
One of the most visionary artists in Scotland, Iain Petrie has spent the past year recording his debut album I'll Stay By You, which is due for release on 7 April on Fourtrak Records. His unique brand of pop has been described as "organic Celtic soul".
Drawing from folk, soul, jazz and 60's pop, Iain Petrie has a unique style that defy's definition. With infectious melodies and colourful arrangements the songs are spiritual, romantic and uplifting. As described by Metro, 'If John Martyn and James Taylor were in The Beatles, it might have sounded like this.'
To bring the songs alive, Iain has brought together some of the finest musicians in Scotland. Evolved over the last year into a dynamic and highly energetic 4 piece, the band effortlessly express the soul of the song.
Capitalising on recently winning the prestigous Stringjam Club Musician Of The Year, Iain says, 'This is a time of very fast growth for the band. We are at the very forefront of the kind of pop music that has depth, meaning and long lasting and broad appeal'.
With uplifting melodies, quirky arrangements and a beautifully haunting voice, Iain is attracting a lot of interest and capturing the hearts of many fans.
Support on the night is provided by good friend and all round troubadour Rob Howell.
