All original celtic instrumentals in a contemprary setting, led by wooden flutes and whistles. A subtle use of loops and percussion helps propel the tunes in a more modern direction.
Bio / Background
Geoffrey Kelly is currently a member of 2 of Canadas best known Celtic/Pop bands. With both Spirit of the West, and the Paperboys, he has traveled the world and recorded more than 15 CDs.
"Gringo Star" is his first solo album, and it is truly a solo album. Geoffrey plays all the instruments, as well as producing and engineering the tracks. The album veers between moody airs ,sets of uplifting reels, and the guitar Instrumental "Eugene".
The track "The Lonely Biker" was used in a feature film called "Lunch With Charles" starring Biff Naked. The opening piece, "Sunflower Girl" has been chosen as the theme music for a mountaineering documentary on Tim Rippels solo attempt on Mount Everest in 2001 called "One On One".
Wooden flute is Geoffreys first instrument, and is certainly what people identify with, in his musicianship. On "Gringo Star" this is still the case, but also featured is his more recent development as an acoustic guitarist.
