Although only born in 2001, Liam Grant's become a leading force in a much needed third wave revival of American Primitive music.
The path was paved from the blues by Fahey, Basho, Kottke and so on, followed with a second coming heralded by folks like Glenn Jones, Jack Rose, Basho-Junghans and others.
Despite his age, Liam's the very definition of "an old soul" and while he draws on a wide variety of contemporary influences, he also channels a comprehensive history of the blues as well as a deeper energy that informs both his playing and songwriting.
Duncan plays acoustic (and electric) folk music with streaks of psychedelic exploration, American Primitivism, Zen-like ambience, archaic drones and some degree of pop sensibility.
