GEORGE BYRNE: Beat In Time
Buy Now Buy Now

George Byrne is a singer songwriter who writes beautiful tunes for himself and for his band. Some quiet some loud, some slow some fast. Some people say the music could be described as ‘Pink Floyd Americana’ (whatever that means). His first (and only) LP ‘Foreign Water’ was released to critical acclaim in Australia, the UK and most recently the US. Featuring guest appearances by Lior and Holly Throsby, and made with the help of respected producers Jonathan Burnside (The Sleepy Jackson) and Tim Powles (The Church), Foreign Water was an important and unique debut release that launched George’s career in style.

Described as “A stunning debut of quietly beautiful songs” (Kathy McCabe, Daily Telegraph), ‘Foreign Water’ first got the attention of UK MOJO (No 1 New Release Playlist) and then Tori Amos, who invited George to tour with her around Australia. Since then George has showcased SXsW, toured Australia & Europe (with Jason Molina and LIOR) and most recently returned to NYC & LA for a 12 show run in conjunction with his records US release.

In amongst all this George also found time to release a sneeky EP (acoustic side-project) ‘Beat In Time’ and - with some new found help - spent two months in NYC working on pre-production for his 2nd studio record with one the best bands in the world. So…stay tuned.

Foreign Water Press:

"Byrne sits between weariness and wakefulness: finger-picked guitar, gentle country-rock ambience, harmonica and a voice that can turn sad at the drop of a battered hat there’s real talent here." - Bernard Zuel, SMH

"A stunning debut of quietly beautiful songs from a Sydney singer-songwriter Byrne offers laid-back, rootsy rock gems which draw you in with their simple melodies and hooks and his smooth-as-silk, lazy Sunday drawl." - The Daily Telegraph

"These tales of romance, travel and life-acquired yearnings make for effortless but absorbing listening this is a singer with a distinctly Australian way of sharing his stories with you." - The Courier Mail

I see your blogs and I commend you. All one is meant to do in NYC is wander, take pictures, write songs, and go out for pints anyway, so you're doing just fine...great sight, new friend. Great "tunes" as we say.
