Artist description Experiencing Stirling Brig you would believe they've been playing together forever. However, it was only three short years ago that Richard Jeffry and Weavin jammed in a little rehearsal studio in Playa Del Rey. Within minutes they knew this was it. The core of Stirling Brig had been born. With the addition of Andrew and Mike, the group solidified its vision, firmly taking its place as one of rock's Super-Groups. Stirling Brig creates a unique and revolutionary sound destined to become a musical milestone. They have a wealth of musicianship and musical understanding at their disposal, they use it all, and yet never forget their musical roots. No band is like them. Stirling Brig is a re-birth of Rock for the new millennia. As one Band Member put it...'... if I had to say... If my life depended on it... I would say this... "We are like Led Zeppelin, but nothing like Led Zeppelin". Our music covers a wide variety of styles from progressive rock to Celtic rock to groovin' good vibe rock and roll. Our shows include acoustic work, dual guitar solos, four part vocal harmonies, and full improvisation. We interact with our audience and most of all, we make music...'They call it "HYPNOGROOVEROCK" and you can take it to the bank. Their sense of harmony and melody are outstanding, but more than that this music can touch your very soul, and move you with its strength.In a review of a show at the Roxy in Hollywood, Music Connection critic Bernard Bauer wrote :their material has a universal appeal that transcends trends, a good song after all, is a good song. And Stirling Brig knows good songs without the pretense sometimes associated with top acts. This is a group going places and taking you along with them. It should only be a matter of time before the industry takes notice.......So Come inside, and listen. It’s what you’ve been waiting for… …Music To Live To.

Press Reviews Music Connection - April97 by Bernard Bauer The Roxy - West Hollywood, CaliforniaMaterial: If the Eagles were to form today, they would sound very much like Stirling Brig. A little from the Seventies-Eighties era, a bit of Collective Soul, strong harmonies and a real feel for their songs. In short, this band has got it together. With a solid, tight sound they opened big time, with a fast and furious modern rock attack. From there, their music easily flowed from blues-funk to country-rock. "Never Gonna Take it Away", their most Eagles-like song was a huge crowd pleaser, causing much swooning amongst a large number of female fans. With "Stop My Mind" they changed the pace and displayed a good feel for the sstructure and dynamics of a hit song. All of their selections were first rate without being over-the-top. This group knows what it can do and what it wants out of it. Even a short Scottish tune that McCluskey put into the set seemed natural and touching. Stirling Brig's material is strong, but even stronger is their effect on their audience.Musicianship: McCluskey as front man and guitarist, never out-played the material, nailing it when he had to and stepping back when he should. In fact, for the caliber of players these guys are no one tried to outshine ot step on any other member. They played as unit, with McCluskey being the obvious lead but never exploiting it. It's refreshing to see a group that is so comfortable with each other. Bottorff and Montgomery kept a solid groove going, whatever the style, and their harmonies were excellent. A few songs were structured progressively, exhibiting Stirling Brig's skill by refraining from too many frills. Straight ahead and strong they played up to their material very effectively.Performance: When you have a group that knows themselves and their collective identity, that feeling transfers into the audience. This band connects at a level rarely seen for an unsigned group. Intense, intimate and rockin', Stirling Brig plays from their heart to your's. You can't help but like these guys, they're so real-and most importantly-honest. What they feel is what you get, and it shows inthe reactions of their audience.Summary: Although their kind of material may not appeal to the current A&R sensibilities it has a universal appeal that transends trends, a good song after all, is still a good song. And Stirling Brig knows good songs without the pretense sometimes associated with top acts. This is a group going places and taking you along with them. It should only be a matter of time before the industry takes notice.......
