Northern Ireland native, Simon McBride is currently on the road with Deep Purple filling in for Steve Morse and has released his new album The Fighter via EarMusic.
Belfast, is 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.
Ian Gillan from Deep Purple thinks Simon is one of the best guitar players in the world! He has also played a full tour as a member of Ian Gillan´s band and has played together with all-time greats like Don Airey in the Don Airey band and ex members of Whitesnake in the band Snakecharmer.
The Fighter is a fantastic, impressive, and multi-layered album. It is indebted to the blues and rock tradition, but never anachronistic, always modern, but never concerned about trends.
