Gary Stewart

Gary Stewart is a singer/songwriter from Perthshire who cut his teeth performing on the Leeds Music Scene for 15 years before moving to York. Stewart writes songs in the Folk/Pop vein and is influenced by the Folk Artists of the ’60’s and ’70’s (Paul Simon/James Taylor/The Eagles/Joni Mitchell/Carole King).

The Scottish Songsmith has released four Albums to date, his latest, ‘Lost, Now Found’, self-recorded, produced and released in June 2021. The debut single, ‘Leopard’ received steady A-List radio play on YO1 Radio, BBC Radio Scotland and Amazing Radio and the second single, ‘Hot To Trot’, features backing vocals from Rosie Doonan (Birdy/Peter Gabriel). His debut record, ‘Boy Cries Wolf’, garnered much praise from Janice Long and was played on Radio 2 courtesy of Steve Lamacq. The left-hander is also no stranger to the Festival circuit, having played Kendal Calling, Green Man and Larmer Tree Festivals to name but a few.

When not performing his own music, the multi-instrumentalist busies himself playing drums for Hope & Social and bass for Leeds-based Fleetwood Mac Tribute, Weetwood Mac (ex-Ellen & The Escapades). He also fronts his own reworking of Paul Simon’s Classic Album, ‘Graceland’, with a seven-piece band who have played many a Theatre and Festival, including Shrewsbury, Towersey, Costa Del Folk, Moonbeams and Underneath The Stars.
