| Biography: | Wade Mosher has made music his life since he was only 12 years old. He is known for his songwriting & guitar skills and he’s also a respected producer, singer & programmer. Starting in the early ‘80’s, Wade has toured Canada, the US & Europe playing in Rock, Country, Blues, Skiffle and Punk bands. In 1995, Wade Mosher released his debut, self-titled CD that received airplay in Canada, Turkey & Arkansas. Promoting the album & touring followed until 1997. Sales have reached over 3500 thus far, mostly from word of mouth. This record has been likened to John Hiatt, Steve Earle, Bruce Springsteen, Dire Straits, Warren Zevon and Lyle Lovett. Wade’s fans have been asking for recordings of his guitar playing for years, so in 2001 recording began for his next CD ‘Doesn’t Play Well With Others’. The instrumental record of 12 cuts was released in 2002. The record has gotten some great reviews & feedback. It’s been available online since 2006 and is selling well. Though Wade’s style is undeniable, nods to Danny Gatton, Brian Setzer, Mark Knopfler, Chopin, Brian May, Dick Dale & Scotty Moore can be heard throughout. As Wade humbly puts it, “I just take what those guys did, simplify the difficult parts & hope nobody notices.” In 2003 Wade disappeared into his studio to work on his latest album. A lot of life got in the way during the making of this much anticipated CD, but in 2007 ‘Everything Will Be Just Fine’ was released. It’s more of a collection of songs than a definitive album, moving seamlessly through genres without losing momentum. Songs like ‘Canadian Folk Song’ and ‘Hollywood is Burning’ are cutthroat takes on culture & politics with sardonic humor. Great stabs at love, religion and psychosis are found in ‘Love Makes You Stupid’ & ‘Lose This Skin’. ‘She’s Got A Heart’ & ‘Don’t Let The Highway Get You Lost’ are first class country songs that will take you back to the days of Merle Haggard & Steve Earle. This is a CD that will leave its mark.
Wade Mosher has never been convicted of murder, but the night is still young. Just A Personal NoteHi Folks- Wade here. Thanks for stopping by and having a listen. I appreciate your time, I know how limited it can be. There are a lot of songs here, so feel free to poke around & play snippets as you please. I’ve requested that they allow the prices of the songs to come down a bit here. We’ll see what happens. In the meantime I’ll be allowing free downloads randomly so keep an eye out. Some of the genres I’ve chosen can obviously cross over into others & it’s hard to categorize your own material, but I believe I’ve gotten close with my choices. If you hear something that turns your crank, feel free to contact me. I’m very friendly, (except early in the morning.) I’ll be keeping this section as up to date as I can. Thanks again. |

| Biography: | Unforgiven are presently performing in pubs and clubs as a cover band, But since August 2007 we have been writing and recording our own material. As of March 2008 none of these songs have been integrated into our set list. We are a 5 peice rock band from Derry (Northern Ireland). We first formed after a group of local musicians collaborated together to put on a Bon Scott Memorial Night. This was in and around 1989. The original line up was Squanky - Vocals/Bass This line up was short lived. We played a support slot to Straight Jacket Memories upstairs in Masons Bar, Derry. That night local singer KOKE guested on 3 of our songs. Next was a 40 minute set at The Jammers MCC annual rally after which we broke up. We kept in contact and then Yorkie went to America to work. On his return to Ireland we got together for his birthday and decided some 14 years later to reform. The new line up consisted of : Damien White - Vocals At the time of writing this 5 years down the line, this remains the longest standing line up. The next change was our frontman. Damien left to dedicate himself to his family. James - Vocals Now with the Addition of Sean (Our Ex Roadie) on Bass. We feel this is our strongest line up to date and it just feels natural that we have now started to write and record our own material. We are still a five piece band, all a little older and wiser and enjoying our music more than ever. We Are James - Vocals |
