Bio
The Glasgow born singer-songwriter released his debut album ‘Postcards from Nowhere’ in 2005 on a small local independent label.
The album was recorded on a four track at home over several years prior to its release. It was all recorded, performed and mixed by Campbell. These thirteen tracks compiled together made up to a debut that even though it was a low-key release it gathered some impressive reviews including Sunday Times ‘Album of the Week''.
Between 2006 and 2007 Campbell recorded the follow-up album ‘Beyond Below’. This time the four-track was replaced with a sixteen track recorder which helped the record have a much wider sonic landscape.
Beyond Below was released in November 2007 on Campbell’s own label ‘Crooked Mouth Records’. The name comes from the Gaelic for Campbell which loosely translates as ‘crooked mouth’. It has so far picked up some great reviews and has been warmly received by the music press and critics alike.
As well as a string of live headline solo shows over the years Campbell has also supported some great artists, including; Odetta, John Hammond, Michael Hurley, Gary Louris (Jayhawks), Mary Gauthier, The Handsome Family, Howe Gelb (Giant Sand), Alison Moorer & James Blood Ulmer to name but a few.
In 2008 Grant began work on his third album as well as contributing a song to the Lionsgate produced film ‘The Burrowers’ which premiered at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival.
