STEPHEN YOUNG & THE UNION

Stephen Young first appeared on the music scene in late 2008 when the release of his debut EP: ‘A Boat Called Lottery’, garnered vast critical acclaim. This prompted Young to take his songs to a broader audience, as he put together a troupe of musicians called The Union to form his band and to set about recording an LP. Described as a visionary ricochet for the times we live in (The Daily Star), it is Young’s capacity to deliver a song with pounding heartfelt retrospect that will set him apart from his luminaries.
The singer joined forces with producers Gavin Glass, Tommy O’Sullivan and engineer Stephen O’Brien to complete his debut album. The album’s title is ‘Wilderness Machine’. Young explains: “the concept of the album is loosely based on a character, who left his hometown after the break-up of a relationship and the death of a close friend. He moves to a remote house in the mountains where he writes a series of letters that lead to a novel”.
Young & The Union's live shows are a blistering, countrified affair — so don't expect to see a singer-songwriter soulfully whispering into a microphone! And, hailed as a 'Five Star' live act by Heinekenmusic.ie you can expect to leave their shows humming a number of catchy choruses.
The first Single to be released on the album ‘Wilderness Machine’ will be ‘Coke & Rum’ on Feb 25th 2011. (Mastered by Aidan Foley).
