FlyinAmbeR is a one man band recording in Scotland. Influenced by the sixties, and seventies, solo in the eighties, gigging in the nineties with Lenny, Barberstar and Kooper; the Fly is now kept in a darkened room with a 4 track and a drum machine for company. Being older than twelve, he is in an almost catatonic state which precludes live appearances. Every so often, though, a few neurons twich and a song pops out - strong on melody and jangly guitar, the voice sounding like it could do the business given some exercise. The Fly is beyond discovery...but if anyone out there fancies doing a cover...

FlyinAmbeR, I luv the lyrics and the message of Peace Song. It's great to hear songs with such idealism, especially in these times. Kevin Sweeney, I also enjoyed Nightmares. Your guitaring is excellent and I can really hear the joy in your art. Continue to create and express your sound. It's been a cool listening experience, indeed.

Peace and Rock On,
Allan Blanks

Congratulations on your Feature Kevin!


Jack Nimersheim wrote on May 16, 2009:

Kevin...I was surprised not to see "The Byrds" in your list of influences. On a couple of tunes, you've nailed that same airy sound they offered, especially on their early stuff...back when McGuinn and Crosby were the driving forces. And, yes, that's high praise, indeed, coming from me. I loved the...um...early Byrds. (no catching the worms jokes, please...*g*)

Keep up the good work...
