Episode 3 - Paul McGilloway

From the moment he arrived in New York City from Northern Ireland, solo artist Paul McGilloway has been carving out his own signature style. Inspired by legends like AC/DC’s Angus Young and Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page, Paul developed his own innovative sound by drawing on Page and Young’s brilliant proficiency and technique. The results can be heard on his 2020 debut album “Fear of Falling Up,” a collection of carefully crafted songs that feature soulful melodies and shimmering atmospheric guitars.

In this episode Paul talks about growing up during the period of conflict in Northern Ireland known as The Troubles, his first band appropriately named Local Chaos, his journey to New York City, and how answering a classified ad ultimately led to sharing the stage with such greats as ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons, Moby, Glenn Tillbrook of Squeeze, and actor Jim Carrey.
