Album Notes

I grew up in Ireland. I moved to Chicago at age 23, having flipped a coin outside a travel agents in Dublin. My cousin and I had decided to hit the states in the summer of ’95 but we forgot to discuss to which city. Heads for New York, tails for Chicago, the coin landed on tails. We didn’t care since we had no clue really about the differences, that’s how green we were! I gave my first performances on the subways of Chicago and soon landed a gig at the Abbey Pub on Chicago’s north side. It wasn’t long before I was a regular on the circuit playing 3 to 5 nights a week. A good life.. for a 23 year old!
It’s been 14 years since that summer and during that time I’ve been a waiter, barman, worked for a design firm, sold real estate, sold advertising TVs, worked for a Credit card processing Co. to mention but a few, but always, first and foremost I’ve been a musician. It’s part of me, as undeniable as my nose! I'm a husband and father to two beautiful kids (you can see them on my album artwork) My wife and kids are my main inspiration, after that, comes family, friends and loved ones. I've been putting off recording this album for years but I've finally gotten around to doing it. I hope you can feel how just how much these people mean to me and I hope it gives you an appreciation of your own loved ones, we are all Made of Love!

A heartfelt collection of ballads and songs that are introspective, emotional and true but also celebrate life. This album is a grower the more you listen the more you hear. My personal favourites were ' Lay down ' and 'End of September'. Gareth is a strong wordsmith in the excellent tradition of the great singer songwriters (Paul Simon and Bob Dylan). His live show is also excellent, catch him gigging in Chicago.

Although you can never go wrong seeing Gareth live, it is a real treat to be able to listen to him anytime! An extremely talented singer, musician and lyricist who relays his love for his beautiful wife and children along with his concern for their future on this planet; like so few artists are able to do. Endearing and enduring. His songs flow seamlessly from a dreamy beginning all the way to a heart-wrenching song written in the wake of the Columbine shootings. A must have for anyone who considers themselves a lover of music. Makes a great gift as well!

I have loved the sound and qualities of Gareth's voice since i heard him play live at Cullen's in 1997. And now I have the luxury of hearing him wherever I go. Which my fiancee and I did as we drove to Michigan this weekend, with Gareth's music along for the ride. Full of lovely songs, beautiful stories, wonderful melodies, this album shows off his range in some surprising ways. This labor of love was worth the wait, but don't wait any longer....
