PRESS RELEASE
FROM DENVER TO AMSTERDAM - MAKE SOME NOISE TOUR 2009
One might think a blues rock musician in Colorado, would have little in common with an Irish musician living in Amsterdam, until you add one more ingredient, MS, MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS.
Now you have two powerful motivators, music and the common cause of finding the cure for Multiple Sclerosis.
Both accomplished artists in their own right, Dublin born Mark Gilligan and Denver native Linda Storey, melded their distinct styles together into a sound of their own.
In John Macy's, Grammy award winning studio, they joined their bands together to record their first collaborative CD, "Linda Storey and Mark Gilligan".
Both dealing with different stages of the unpredictable disease MS, makes their music powerful and unique. "MAKE SOME NOISE" written by Linda can be described as Celtic Rock. To add his support, Jock Bartley, lead guitarist from the internationally known band Firefall, joined them in the studio. Mark's song "THE LODGER INSIDE OF ME" adds a twist of country including John Macy's sought-after pedal steel guitar.
Linda (even though she is now wheelchair-bound) will travel with her band "The Linda & Jessica Storey Band" along with Jock Bartley to fly out to Amsterdam to begin their CD release tour of the Netherlands with Mark's Band, "The John O God's" and Black Top's drummer, Theo Thumper. Their first stop will be on March 19, 2009 at the "Paradiso" in Amsterdam.
"I would hope both songs get national attention and create a renewed effort to find a cure for this devastating 'lodger living inside' of you and Mark" Tommy Overstreet, Country music star
"Linda uses her music to tell the story of MS." Carry Nolan, President of the Colorado chapter, National MS Society.
