GRAHAM GORRIE is performer of original songs - alternative/folk rock style. Plays old Maton guitars and sings original songs for low key audiences in moody pubs and folk clubs where people really listen to the lyrics. Words are very important and inspiration comes from old literature and simple things. Aiming for the festival circuit and overseas gigs.
My influences include JJ Cale, Ed Kuepper, Elliott Smith, Evan Dando, Martin Stephenson. All are singer/songwriters. I think I got the habit of writing short songs from playing Beatles songs in cafes. The people I listen to lately are Richard Thompson, John Frusciante, Brendan Gallagher, Martin Stephenson, Bob Dylan.
PUBS and FOLK FESTIVALS Currently playing folk clubs in Brisbane.
History includes performances in a 3 and 4 piece outfit playing at Brisbane hotels doing mostly originals and some blues covers. Performed with a several lineups at the WOODFORD FOLK FESTIVAL. |
