​Seamus Egan (from the album Early Bright available on Thi Records)
 
Melody is on the main stage when Seamus Egan provides compositional instrumentation to Early Bright, the first solo album from the artist in twenty-three years. Throughout his career Seamus Egan has been a curator of Irish music in the Americas. On Early Bright, Seamus Egan merges the composition of music with an influence of Irish tones and textures. As his guitar leads the way through “Welcome to Orwell”, Seamus Egan tints the journey with an Emerald Isle lilt to the whistle notes while he lets the sonics gently rise like wisps of smoke that lift to reveal the English Folk soundtrack of “Tournesol”. Acoustic strings fire electric energy on the trance groove of “B Bump Bounce” as sleepy notes are woken by nylon guitar strings while scratchy banjo notes carve a path through “6 Then 5” as Early Bright opens the album with the title track flickering on echoey piano notes.
 
Moving from his long-time home in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Seamus Egan found the time in a rural Vermont environment to sort through years of songs and snippets he had written, gathering the results and heading into the studio with a group of musical friends to record the instrumental Early Bright. Performing on tenor banjo, nylon string guitar, low whistles, mandolin, keyboard, and percussion, Seamus Egan presents Early Bright as melodic moods, lightly coaxing the dreamy notes of “52 Hertz”, bringing back a musical memory in the peaceful sway of “Everything Always Was”, and orchestrating a host of string instruments, spreading out the accumulated symphony “Under the Chestnut Tree”.
