"see the losers in the best bars; meet the winners in the dives
where the people are the real stars; all the rest of their lives"
Vocoustics is not so much a promotions company as a great name and a simple idea. It's primarily based around the closeness and simplicity
of an acoustic guitar and a voice - an artist doing their own thing, in their own way, with their own feel.
"a defining point for an artist is how a song would sound if it was played with nothing grander than an acoustic guitar...
Will
it still hold up as a song? or do you need the window dressing around to bolster it up?"
Richard Bennett (Guitarist on Steve Earle's Guitar Town)
We are dedicated to the support and promotion of such artists.
We came about through organising and promoting acoustic gigs in
Aberdeen (Scotland), based around this idea, and under the
banner of Vocoustics Presents.
Thorough our antics in supporting local music we are
also trying to bring about a greater degree of co-operation,
interaction and exchange of ideas between artists and
audience alike - in all aspects of a music scene.
Thumbs up to all acts getting out of the cities and playing more rural
venues - wherever you are - and remember local communities evolve in
metropoli too.
Search out the local musicians in your area, they need your support.
Because if you don't support them, who else will?
Any artists interested in playing at one of our events or are
looking for gigs in Aberdeen, Shetland or the Highlands, acoustically
or otherwise, please contact us and we'll see what we can do.
Regards,
Kevin Mulhern & Andrew Mulhern
