Simon McBride
Simon McBride comes from Belfast in Northern Ireland, a place that resonates of the best music traditions like Gary Moore, Rory Gallagher as well as bands such as Thin Lizzy, Stiff Little Fingers, and obviously U2.
His biography tells the story of his band touring with no sound engineer, driver, roadie, playing 30 shows in 35 days and catching the attention of the label who challengingly asked him to “Show us what you´ve got” by booking him into a studio for 12 hours on his only day off on tour to be auditioned. Simon not only convinced the label, that he has what is takes, but left a, probably eternal, lasting impression. McBride’s meteoric rise has been nothing short of remarkable. Since joining Deep Purple in 2023, he has captivated audiences worldwide, playing a crucial role in the band’s latest chart-topping album ‘=1’. His journey – from years of hard work as a solo artist to gracing the covers of music magazines and celebrating multiple number one chart positions – is the kind of story rock and roll dreams are made of. McBrides new album ‘Recordings 2020–2025’ will be out March 14th!News
