Stephenville's Jamie
Walsh, having grown up in a musical family,
Walsh found that singing and playing came to him
instinctively at five years old. When he started
classical piano and voice training at the age of
nine, he knew he'd found his calling.
Since adding guitar to his roster of talents at
the age of fourteen, Walsh has played at
benefits, fund raisers and talents shows, wowing
audiences with his vocal sensitivity and guitar
prowess. At age sixteen he began playing
professionally with local bands and as a solo
performer.
A variety of inspirations have shaped Walsh's
music. He studied Jazz at St. Francis Xavier and
attributes much of the artistic influence on the
album to his work with the seasoned and
accomplished musicians in his group West Coast
Blues - all of whom accompany Walsh on the
album.
The release is momentous for Walsh, not only as
his debut album, but as a project very close to
his heart - the studio where the album was
engineered and produced is owned and operated by
his long time friend and musical collaborator
Stan Gallant.
Walsh's music is best described as an eclectic
blend of many styles that have come together to
create a tour de force. There are elements of
blues, rock and pop with a unique combination of
Jamie's melodies and vocals. |
