Description

Tom McGuire & the Brassholes are a funk soul powerhouse from Glasgow.
Combining rich arrangements with meticulous songcraft and untouchable in live
performance, the band is carving a niche of their own. Following the success of their
2019 debut album, the group is ready to enter into an exciting 2nd phase.
The band formed bu
sking on the streets of Glasgow and made a living from playing
bars before bursting onto the scene with runaway viral debut single ?Ric Flair?. Mere
months later the band launched their debut album with a sellout show at the 1000+
capacity QMU in Glasgow.
Since then they have gone on to secure support slots for
Craig Charles and Geroge Clinton, have become a firm favourite on the festival
circuit, headlining a number of scottish festivals, and have toured extensively in the
U.K and Europe.
The band?s music
is full of vitality, the sound of a new niche being cut, classic pop
sensibility with high musicianship values and rewarding arrangement and rich
production. At the root is soulfull song, telling stories and sharing experiences of joy,
turmoil, loss, cele
bration, sadness, happiness, confidence, frailty. All told hyper
distilled and delivered in finely honed funk pop parcels of aesthetic joy. Life is
confusing and hard, but music is fun and great, so let?s talk about it whilst at one and
the same time, gett
ing down.
