Simon Mcbride Instrumentals
Donation protected
Hey its Simon McBride here, For anyone that doesn't know me, I'm a touring guitarist that plays for Ian Gillan, Don Airey, Snakecharmer and many others.
It’s really tough out there for musicians to make a living right now. But as my schedule has been cleared by the pandemic it has brought back to mind something I have been meaning to do for a long time -- a guitar instrumental album. And now I have the time to do it!
I will record 10 tracks and release these every 1-2 weeks via a download link. This is not a “release” in the traditional sense. It won’t be available on any streaming sites and will only be available to fans who register to receive this music.
There is no fixed cost. I’m just hoping that you will pay what you think the music is worth to you. By making a donation you will help me to continue on as a musician in this difficult time and keep bringing new music to the world.
I will send the first track free to everyone who registers. If you like what you hear then please make what you think is a fair donation to receive the remaining nine tracks.
