When done right, some songs can take the roof off the place. Others can silence it with pure heartfelt emotion. Mixing the two, from the raucous venue to the most intimate of spaces, or on the same record, is another musical sphere entirely. It’s hard to get right, let alone as consistently and successfully as Anton O’Donnell has. With incomparable balladry, and a world-renowned articulation of all things Americana and beyond, the Glasgow based songwriter and musician always delivers this most elusive kind of musicality and stagecraft.

From Austin to Brussels, Nashville to Lucerne, Berlin to Vlaardingen, reviews have been consistently impressive from his near-constant performances and tours. In the Netherlands his solo sets were praised by The Blues Alone for their “convincing, spicy and catchy songs… that contain confrontational strong lyrics.” Hannah Compton of Building Our Own Nashville writes that his won’t be a name she forgets any time soon.
