Strings & Things - What If (single)
Strings & Things are a four-piece neo-trad band based in Tipperary with one member in Galway who meld genres of rock, folk, pop, and trad to create their unique sound. They have been entertaining the audiences with energetic live performances, a huge repertoire of traditional music, and thoughtful, innovative original music. Their second album dubbed “The Unsolicited Dance” which is due for release in the near future. The band is currently managed by Impact Promotions Ireland.
What If, the new single, carries hints of the country music with the lively banjo part and starts by asking a serious question " what if the Earth was flat". The upbeat melody has a positive effect on anyone who hears it. The lead singer's distinctive vocal is even more remarkable here than in the previous releases. One of those ideal numbers for a packed gig where the audience is dancing, jumping, singing along.
“I wrote these lyrics coming home on a flight from a concert in Birmingham," band member Eoin Shelly says of the track's origins. That shows the inspiration is everywhere and the only thing a musician/songwriter needs to do is to grab it (before somebody else does).
