"Flesh & Blood" by Davey Long

Flesh & Blood

Davey Long is back with a brand new track called "Flesh & Blood". 
The song features a reputable line of musicians taking the reins on the tracks, including Dave Gough on bass, Rob Larkin on keys, Shane O’Dwyer and Eoin Drennan on guitar and James Delahunty on synth. 
The composition is laced with gorgeous guitars and hearty piano solos, while Long’s vocal performance is effortlessly infectious and feel-good - Kilkenny People With three tracks under his belt, Davey is gearing up for an exciting album launch this October 2021. 
Flesh & Blood dips into alt rock with a hint of bass and drum influences, all while maintaining a heavy groove that shifts dynamics throughout the song and reaches a crescendo at the finale. 
Davey adds his stylistic vocals to the mix while also taking the lead on production while Martin Quinn lends a helping hand with the mix at Jam Studios
Flesh & Blood is one of three singles teased off Davey’s upcoming debut album, Eitilt, which also features notable contributions from the likes of Kealan Kenny and Sara Ryan, amongst others. While subjecting the single to a specific genre will do it no justice, critics have likened it to the days of old school pop-rock, with David Bowie, Pink Floyd and U2 being thrown in the mix.
