| The band Rise is based in Rothesay on the Isle of Bute, Argyll. They have been described as Scottish 'eclectic' and they are receiving alot of well-deserved air play around the globe. Original, inventive, very musical and highly evocative, this is a band that is going places. Multi-instrumentalist, Gerry Geoghegan isthe band's guitarist and has an amazing CV, which spans Rock, Folk and most contemporary forms of music to be found in Scotland today. His playing is magical, full of feeling as well as being powerful and steeped in his ever-changing eclectic taste. Elaine McCombe's bass playing, which is driving and full of subtlety, complements this. Elaine originally played with the Glasgow based, all-girl Folk group Tullibardine. She also plays guitar when RISE performs live, as well as providing lovely vocal harmonies. Kris Manvell has been in the engine room of many Rock and Punk bands on the London circuit. Kris plays drums and percussion on the album as well as some keyboard noodling. The band's sound is given cohesion and meaning by the stunning vocals of Debbie Dawson. Debbie brings genuine feeling to the songs and her performance is passionate and beautiful. The band is the perfect vehicle for her voice. A DJ in Sacremento said, 'I appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry that goes into your music. Thank you, and I'm looking forward to exposing my listeners to it.' 'A bright spot in the folk music arena that brings the magic of Scotland to your ears. It's well produced and Debbie's voice will touch your heart' .... Steven John, Internet Radio Free Kansas, USA 'One reason we do not say too much or put out bios and talk ourselves up is that we really feel that it should be about the music. Who and what we are is not important. The music is. Music and lyrics mean different things to different people. Everyone responds to music differently. It is a very personal thing.' .... Rise |
