SIMON MCBRIDE: SINGER/SONGWRITER/MUSICIAN


CROSSING THE LINE, is the 3rd solo studio album of Simon McBride from Belfast Northern Ireland out September 2012.  His earlier albums were released in European markets.

McBride is a Classic Blues Rock guy, with precise guitar riffs, and the talent of Eric Clapton, Joe Bonamassa, the late SRV, and the late Jimi Hendrix .  A guitar virtuoso by the age of 15, McBride has opened for Jeff Beck, Joe Bonamassa, Joe Satrini, and Derek Trucks, and many others. He was in a metal band ‘Sweet Savage’ and later joined up with fellow Irishman Andrew Strong for 6 years, before taking on a solo career in 2008, as  vocalist and guitar man.

The album has a few cover songs; ‘Heartbreaker’ from  Blood  Sweat & Tears is brought to a new level with McBride, and vocalist  Mia Simone, Paul Hamilton on drums and Carl Harvey on bass.  Also included in original songs, ‘Home To Me’, and from previous albums ‘Down To The Wire’, and much more.

While McBride is not well known in the USA, it won’t be long before his name is a household word in the Blues Rock genre.

McBride tours and promotes  PRS (Paul Reed Smith) Guitars, a high-end electric guitar manufactured in Maryland.
