Early Songs

Early Songs is the pseudonym of sole member and multi-instrumentalist, David Scott. After scoring several short films in 2003, David began making his own instrumental, guitar-based music. Stirred from sleep by the finger-style guitar of Mississippi John Hurt, the many marvelous sounds of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra and the places visited by the Dirty Three, Early Songs awoke one morning in 2004 to begin its own journey. The first fruit of these travels is "Wind Wound", a self-recorded album that is set for a mid-year release on Preservation - a label from Sydney, Australia.

The Burning Hell

The Burning Hell is the alter-ego of songwriter and ukulele-slinger Mathias Kom. Loosely based in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, The Burning Hell has toured back and forth across Canada and Europe since 2007, playing everywhere from festivals to bars to living rooms - and once even a mental asylum in rural France.
