Stories

Novelist Mike Daily Wrote a Book Entitled "As Is" and to this novel he decided to attempt to perform his book with music accompaniment.While an experiment at best, he managed to find two really good producer/musicians who now together form a trio.And the latest news, Mick O'Grady Trio is switching cast members, so it may be a duet, may be a entourage of members. You never know, it's art, baby!
Band/artist history
Mike Daily, rather experimental novelist, not your typical hi how are you roses are red type novelist, this man uses complex dialogue that triggers certain thought processes in his literary compositions, bringing you closer to the characters he's clearly defined in his books through intelligent yet down to earth dialogue.He met Daniel Austin while he was on break, Daniel working as a service clerk at walgreens, sold mike some cigarettes, and Daniel noticed mike's tattoo of a type writer's keys on his arm.Daniel obviously intuitive enough saw mike as a truly dedicated writer, and expressed his respect. Brian Crowl, A long time friend of Daniel Austin, conveniently living right across the street from him, Daniel one day asked Brian if he'd like to do a recording based on Mike Daily's idea to start a really intricate musical book on tape project.Since then, Brian's been as hooked to it.These 3 all have a unique take on music and literateur, combining very resourceful book on tape style material with various experimental audio while still containing some groove that pertains to the story.
