Glasgow based singer-songwriter Barry Noakes releases highly anticipated debut album ‘A New Dawn’. An extraordinary artist who oozes with talent, the multi-talented artist’s new album explores themes of love, heartache and everything in between. When lockdown hit, Barry dedicated himself to recording in his home studio, finally finding time to record all of his instruments at once.
Talking about the release, Barry says, “Broadly speaking the album follows me from a family breakup to thoughts of a brighter future and reconciliation with the past. I don’t like miserable though, so it’s all coloured with refreshing honesty and humour. My influences range across genres; from Indie bands such as Pixies, through Country artists such as John Prine, to great UK singer songwriters such as Joan Armatrading. I’d say my music was now part-folk, part-country, part-indie but all heart.”
‘A New Dawn’ is out now and is a heartfelt release that could easily put his name in lights within the folk and country world.
