sounds of
Johnny McAleer
"take music, family and friends, stir gently and served chilled" - JMc
I GREW UP listening to a wide variety of musical genres: from Classical to mainstream Pop, from Folk to Reggae and Ska, from Jazz, Soul and Rhythm & Blues to Country, New Wave and Indie. In one way or another all of these differing styles have played an influential role in shaping my signature sound.
For some, music is simply a way to relax and be entertained.
For me it’s so much more...
It's a way of life
Introducing... Johnny McAleer
dedicated to music
AS A LIFE-LONG DEVOTEE OF MUSIC in all its many forms,
I have always admired the imagination, enthusiasm, skill, diligence and dedication exhibited by composers, vocalists, lyricists, instrumentalists, technicians and all those associated with producing the diverse, often complicated expressions of emotion that so many of us take pleasure in. Well, now I'm making my own modest contribution by creating and sharing my own material comprising a little from each attendant discipline.
My musical influences are numerous and eclectic and, as a child in the 60's and 70's, the scope for inspiration was especially rich and varied. So please have a listen.
I hope you find my work enjoyable.
