Biography
Renowned Irish singer/songwriter, Don Mescall, connects with audiences through his intensely personal lyrics and raw honesty in delivery, with comparisons being drawn to Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell and Sting.
With his career still on rapid ascent, Don is already recognised as one of the leading lights in songwriting in the UK, Ireland and US. Many of his songs have shone as hits for stars such as Richie Havens, Frances Black, Ronan Keating & Kate Rusby, and his most recent projects are soon due to flourish for Grammy Award winner LeAnn Rimes, Brian McFadden and the band currently taking the world of Country music by storm, Rascal Flatts.
As a live performer, Don's delivery is highly charged with emotion, rooted in his Irish charm, humour and sensitivity. He is an individual who absorbs the complexities of life, feels its effects deeply and reflects that back with grace to touch an audience often in ways that they can’t readily comprehend. By reaching back with honesty into such harsh personal tragedies as the loss of his father as a young boy, and a broken marriage in recent years, Don's songs range from story-telling vehicles of humanity at its most fragile to uplifting anthems of hope and spirituality.
Quotes
"A blistering performance at GuilFest!"
Janice Long, BBC Radio 2
"His music may be influenced by Tom Waits, Stephen Stills and Joni Mitchell but ultimately it reflects the poetic side of his soul"
Time Out
"There's a certain effortless poignancy to Don’s material that suggests Glastonbury could be just the first of many famous stop-offs"
