Description
After 6 years of acoustic songwriting, 2 years of recording and a lifetime of melodies - Gareth Bush's debut EP delivers a powerful punch of crunching riffs and soulful ballads.
Notes
Gareth's first original recording was a song called 'Grow', recorded by classmate and now professional audio engineer Alastair Sims. At 16, it was a raw, underdeveloped effort. It was also a sign of things to come. After a few more unrelated recordings put out on MySpace, music production came to a long-term halt due to a lack of recording resources. Add on a nearly terminal case of writer's block, and the singer/songwriter approach was paused indefinitely.
Following high school graduation, Gareth took up street-performance more seriously as a way to practice publicly, build up repertoire, and of course, make some money. After weekly appearances around the city's bar scene during obscenely late hours, his skills and song archives were much more polished.
At 20 as a directionless university student at Western, Gareth was messaged by Kenneth Nielson, a student at OIART (Ontario Institute of Audio Recording Technology) expressing interest in recording him for his school projects. Before you know it, a successful working relationship was formed and the two teamed up on a number of acoustic recordings and studio productions. Kenneth's hard work, generosity and available resources revived Gareth's songwriting aspirations.
Gareth & Kenneth worked together to record an EP that combined all of Gareth's main influences and aspirations. Experimenting with various different sounds, the EP contains the sound of a Coldplay love ballad, a John Mayer acoustic vibe, Spill Canvas lyrics and a sound that Gareth can truly call his own.
The EP represents everything Gareth has accomplished thus far, and most importantly, a sign of things to come.
