the Liam Gallagher. A Philadelphia native and resident of Mt. Airy, Liam Gallagher is one busy renaissance man. By day, he is a science teacher at Project Learn School; by night, his folksy toe tap'n melodies can be heard throughout the neighborhood- where crowds have gathered for his infamously hosted gigs, The Big Folkin' Experiment. The BfE was an every other Thursday night sing along with some of the area's finest musicians. The launch of "Traffic"- with it's lasting lyrics and memorable beats- hit 1,000 + views on Vimeo within days. With the ease of a true irishman, Liam gets crowds singing along - reminiscent of Glen Hansard or a young Bob Dylan. The Poet & the Muse is sure to bring hearts in and back again with its infectiously compelling sound. His new album, the Poet & the Muse, is a collaborative project with his long time musical journeyman, Peter Joseph. Working at his Breakneck Studios, the duo spent the better part of three years completing the album. The songs were developed at the pub and fine tuned in the studio. The result is Liam's best work to date. Download the new album on November 25th! Available through the major online sources including iTunes and Spotify. Part troubador, part rabblerouser, Gallagher stays true to his roots on his debut album, The Poet & the Muse. With inspirations as diverse as Bob Dylan and James Taylor to the Clancy Brothers and Winston Marsellis, it's impossible not to find something that blows your hair back on this record. Songs like "Off to War" have you wanting to grab a pint and sing along at your local Irish bar, while others like "Swarm" send you down to your basement to make your first Occupy Wall Street sign. The album opener, "Universe Collides" will make you want to sit down and write your special someone a love letter, while "Winter's Fault" will make you want to tear it up. Gallagher is a product of his environment and the times he grew up in, but his young age belies his worldly experience and intimate knowledge of the human condition as expressed in his heartfelt lyrics and musical poetry. As with most debut albums, the Poet and the Muse was a labor of love cobbled together here and there in the spare time of the last 2 years. Contributing to take the album from the garage to the studio, Gallagher's long time friend and producer, Peter Joseph, came together to make this thing something special. We hope their hard work pays dividends and finds an outlet because if you're someone with ears and a heart, these 10 songs will leave you wanting 10 more. - Patrick Mulligan
