The Blackwater Conspiracy debut album “Shootin’ The Breeze” is scheduled for release on 28 July 2017 on Bulletproof 20/20 Records, distributed by Absolute.  The album will be preceded by the single ‘The Monday Club’ on 2 June 2017. With confirmed slots at both Download and Ramblin’ Man Fair and other live performances in the pipeline, plus confirmed support from Classic Rock, Fireworks, Powerplay, Classic Rock Society and more. the year promises to be the one where Blackwater Conspiracy take a big step forward into the light and the magic of their music can be discovered by all.  The album will be released on CD / Digital and also a limited edition vinyl [which will come with four exclusive bonus tracks].

All 5 band members had a very musical upbringing exposed to every kind of music from Classic Rock & Blues to Rhythm & Soul to Country & Jazz. No surprise with a classically trained pianist taking inspiration from Jon Lord and Jerry Lee Lewis, a bass player influenced by Iron Maiden and Thin Lizzy, a drummer influenced by everyone from Buddy Rich to Danny Carey and two guitar players bringing together a plethora of playing styles a veritable musical melting pot is created. The line-up features Phil Conalane – Vocals / Rhythm Guitar; Brian Mallon – Lead Guitar / Backing Vocals; Kie McMurray – Bass Guitar / Backing Vocals; Kevin Brennan – Keyboards / Backing Vocals and Fionn O’Hagain – Drums

Unhindered by any desire to conform or follow musical trends, they have taken a refreshingly free form approach to the songs, combining their many and varied influences to create their very original sound.
