Vintage Americana – first single from Dom Glynn & His Sunday Best.
Impact date for Dom Glynn is Friday April 5th, with the first single from his Dom Glynn & His Sunday Best outfit, Time Would Slow Down. Vintage Americana it may be but Time Would Slow Down owes much to a lovely bit of British honky-tonk with the stunning fiddle of Duncan Menzies (Copper Viper, Dana Immanuel) right to the fore.
“Time Would Slow Down is a song I wrote when I was falling in love with my girlfriend,” says Dom. ” It’s a simple song about wanting to spend all your time with the one you love and hold onto each passing moment. Musically, I was listening to a lot of Ernest Tubb (particularly, Drivin’ Nails In My Coffin) and Hank Williams at the time, and I think that certainly influenced the melody and structure of the song. The recording was made with me and the band all playing together in one room without headphones, to get a natural performance rather than a polished production. It’s the first love song I’ve ever written.”
Dom Glynn is a 27-year-old singer-songwriter and fingerpicker extraordinaire from Birmingham, UK, who moved to London in 2016. Through persistent gigging as a solo act, he has developed a reputation as an impressive live performer. He combines a style of songwriting influenced by the likes of Bob Dylan and Hank Williams Sr., with a guitar style inspired by Mississippi John Hurt and Doc Watson.
Since moving to London, Dom has worked with the independent record label, Spiritual Records, to release an E.P. (Waster’s Blues, 2019), several singles (Never Free at All, 2019; Ain’t No Cowboys, Paper Crown & Wound Within, 2020; Every Spare Penny; 2023) and an album (The Devil Knows, 2023).
2023 was Glynn’s biggest year yet, with the album release; supports for UK Blues legends, Jack Broadbent at The Jazz Café and Ian Siegal at Ain’t Nothin’ But The Blues Bar; and the formation of Dom Glynn and His Sunday Best.
Dom describes the band as Vintage Americana. He is joined by the thrilling fiddle virtuoso Dr. Duncan Menzies (Copper Viper), the infectiously joyful drumming of Carmen Ruiz Vicente and the airtight bass-playing and delightful harmonies of Jack Trouble. Together they weave a sound that excites and inspires; music that makes the people drink and dance. They can regularly be found live at their monthly residencies in The Dukes of Highgate, Ain’t Nothin’ But The Blues Bar, Sir Richard Steele and Spiritual Bar.
The band is set to release 3 singles and E.P. in 2024., Time Would Slow Down being the first, as well as perform at Ramblin’ Roots, Black Deer and Maverick Festivals.
