The first country singles from the new album — out now.
Alan Macpherson's musical journey began at thirteen with the gift of an acoustic guitar and a drive for the stage. After decades spent fronting and supporting bands across Canada and Southern California—including Bill Smith, The Crayons, Superball, Whatever and currently Prince Edward County's The Barn Bandits—Macpherson has transitioned more to his studio.
While the stage was a primary musical outlet, crafting songs in the recording studio remained a long-standing obsession. Now, with a lifetime of gear and production expertise finally meeting the luxury of time, he has turned inward. Hopium in the Basement has been released, and comprises 9 songs—7 of which are originals. This title is both a literal location and a creative manifesto: a declaration that unfinished songs never expire—they simply get better with age.
Most recently, Alan has started releasing singles from a new collection of original songs in the Country and Modern Folk genres, called Tales From The Shed.
