Maryen Cairns launches her new and 7th album: ANEW upstairs at St James, with a night of Original Acoustic Music, both by herself & the supporting artists.
To start the night off fellow musician Mickey Haimes is showcasing his own original songs in a solo set, followed by Elvis Kernaghan featuring Zach Le Sauvage (in this rare acoustic sideshow from Aktung).
Maryen herself will be playing in a duo with her son Elvis, showcasing songs from the ANEW album using guitar, piano & cajon.
Maryen says about her new album:
“It was like a switch clicked inside my head and suddenly I was creating music from a new perspective, writing sidewards, out of the corner of my eye”
“It was like a switch clicked inside my head and suddenly I was creating music from a new perspective, writing sidewards, out of the corner of my eye”
This Scottish born Australian moved to the island of Guernsey not long before covid hit, so she was isolated in a place full of history’s remains, and within this new world a seed of creativity germinated into something sweet. Far flung from the drama based approach she had previously been inhabiting, recording in her home studio she captured the basis of the introspective, yet uplifting, mood with guitar & piano, before sending them out to her mentor, producer Chris Kimsey and musicians across the world, to gently add their magic.
We are very much looking forward to this evening of music and experiencing Maryen's new album performed live.
