Gabriel Byrd Trio
Guitarist Singer-Songwriter influenced by 60?s & 70?s guitar-driven rock, folk and progressive music

What happens when you mix Dylanesque modern lyricism, Texan electric guitar chops, that monumental Zeppelian drive, & deep songwriting on the likes of George Harrison & Nick Drake? Spice everything up with mystical symbolism and the intensity of Delta bluesmen and we are just about?
Brazilian globe-trotter award-winning & graduated multi-instrumentalist, Gabe has been actively involved in the music industry for over a decade, both as a session musician and a member of numerous projects.
After releasing his first solo EP ?Along the Way? mixed at Abbey Road Studios by the legendary Engineer Chris Bolster (Paul McCartney, Elton John, Greg Allman, Cat Stevens-Yusuf, John Forgety, Kate Bush) & followed by a well-received Single ?Hard To Believe? (+10K on Spotify) Gabriel has been breaking through the London music scene and being noticed as an ?emergent supernova?, taking audiences by storm with his charisma, multitude of styles and showmanship.

Crushing borders between solid rock, psychedelic soundscapes, melodic ballads, and what he calls ?progressive-folk?, Byrd's solo work presents a fresh and unique vision that has been thrilling audiences and making them wonder ?Who?s this guy??

Currently performing in UK/Europe with a new Single/EP in the making:

(One of the old names, Cantons, can be seen being held by one of the gargoyles on the top of the building).
