GEOFF WARNER SINGER SONGWRITER PRESS RELEASE:

Singer song-write, Geoff Warner will perform a mix of original songs and roots covers on guitar and a few fiddle tunes for good measure!

Blues legends, Reverend Garry Davis and Mississippi John Hurt and the 60s Rock and Roll he grew up with are influences in Geoff’s fingerpicking guitar style.

Nature, love, sailing, dogs, birds, local and global problems and solutions, and the island life of Deer Isle Maine, where he lives, have all ended up in Geoff’s songs in one way or another. “The best songs are like paintings, you find the perspective, capture the light, and then know when to stop.”

Often introducing or ending a song with a good story to add origin and dimension, Geoff considers his performances to be a musical conversation with his audience, that invites intimacy.

– He’s recorded  two CDs  : Heartstones with Katey Branch 2008 , & Archipelago Live with Archipelago 2018. He is currently working on a new solo CD to be produced in 2025. (For bookings contact Geoff: info@geoffreywrnerstudio.com or call 207 469 8110)
