Jamie and the Magic Torch Song

Jamie and the Magic Torch Song UK Press Release, April 2006

UK-born singer-songwriter, Jamie Gray has lived in Hanover Germany for the last four years. During this time he has written and produced 4 albums: Miramar (2001); Silent Star (2003); an odds n sods collection, Kiss Off (2004) and Darkness Falls (2005).

Between 2003 and the end of 2005, Jamie and pianist Klaus Wssner, played something over 40 gigs establishing themselves as an act at the sexier end of the local music scene with a mix of classic German Lieder (Schubert, Weill and Hollnder that would be Kultur, darling) and Jamies own perfectly formed art pop.

The latest Jamie and The MTS creation is 4-piece band. Since July 2005, Jamie together with bass player, Fritz Winkel; guitarist, Henrik Pfeiffer and drummer, Norwin Muench have beaten, punched, kicked and finally buffed songs from Jamies albums into exciting new shapes and forms. Recent live shows incorporate the previous Chansons n Shanties shtick with melodic pop-orientated rock.

The latest 4 track True Love EP was recorded at the end of February 2006 and mixed by Jamie all by himself at home with no help from anyone. No. The next album is planned for release in the early autumn 2006.
