"Northern Rivers talent Clay Blyth is more than another one-man band"

Clay Blyth walked out onto the stage with his guitar in hand. As he sat on a three-legged stool, with a backdrop of singing magpies on the beach, I wondered if he would be just another "one man and his guitar" who often played at The Rails, Byron Bay, each week.
Not quite!
Having written and performed from a young age, the 28 year old from Crescent Head was at ease from the moment he graced the stage.
With his relaxed manner and his combination of guitar, lap slide guitar, harmonica and vocals, Blyth turned out to be a one man band with a talent.
The audience, a mixture of locals and tourists, was in store for a mix of well crafted folk, blues and up beat acoustic music top get them over the hump day of the working week,
It was a cool night in the open air at The Rails as Blyth skillfully played for his audience.
His performance was rich with deep lyrics and personal tunes, as the blues musician explained to the gathering crowd the significance of each song to him.
Written about his life as a traveling musician, the struggles faced while on the road and the distinctive people he encounters on tour, all of his songs have meaning behind the lyrics, stories which are reflected in every day lives.
Songs from his latest album "Stone Road" were performed enthusiastically, but the entertaining guitar and harmonica combos were the highlight of his performance. Blyth's simple stage presence had our attention and he kept the pace going.
Many of his songs blended together, it was hard to tell when one ended and another began. An enjoyable night with music that you couldn’t help but tap along to from the first strum of his guitar.

Bio


PLEASE VISIT----WWW.CLAYBLYTH.COM

Introducing Clay Blyth, a young artist who is making a name for himself with his unique blend of guitars, mouth harp & foot stomp.
Clays soulful & original lyrics accompany his music to create a sound that is honest and true.

Now firmly settled in the beautiful Northern Rivers region after years of touring, Clay is currently recording his second album, due for release in late 2012.

Endorsed by Bigfoot Stompbox, Clays new creations reflect his true passion for blues music.
The songs include combinations of husky lyrics and mesmerizing solos, as well as heart pumping stomp rhythms and lap slide guitar, something which his fans are eagerly awaiting.

Over the last 9 years Clays talent has seen him perform alongside some of the music industries biggest names.
Appearing at the Les Casetas Festival in France was only the beginning as since returning to Australia, Clay has not only performed at the GC Saltwater Festival, Surfers Paradise Festival, WQS International Surfing Events and the Byron Bay East Coast Blues & Roots Festival, but has opened performances for the likes of The Black Sorrows, Mick Hart, Tijuana Cartel, Nat Col & The Kings, Hatz Fitz & Cara and most recently Cole Clark ambassador Lloyd Spiegel.

2010 saw Clay record his first solo album Stone Road at Heaven Studios in Yamba. It is an album of stories and life experiences that are easily related to. It will definitely take you on a humble journey while you listen to it.

The response from Stone Road saw Clay interviewed on 98.9 FM For The Best Country, and secure a place in the top five of the 2011 Perisher Blue Launch Your Band Competition.

Performances from as far as North Queensland to Sydney have allowed Clays music to reach people in all walks of life, gain admiration from peers and prepare for the release of his second album.

Don't miss the release of Clays new album when it hits the stands later this year.
