Folk and Americana singer-songwriter Gary Hempsey is thrilled to unveil his latest album, The Night Flight LP. Featuring the blues-tinged single “Night Flight,” this album is a heartfelt compilation inspired by his travels and the unique perspectives gained from life on the road.
The Night Flight LP showcases Gary’s signature poetic lyricism, reminiscent of James Taylor, paired with a rich, organic sound. The album features finger-picked acoustic guitars, warm bass, and strings that create a thoughtful and understated backdrop for Hempsey’s storytelling and husky, charismatic vocals.
Discussing the album, Gary Hempsey shares, “The Night Flight LP is a collection of songs I put together after writing ‘Find Your Way,’ mostly while traveling. We tend to think of home a little differently from afar. ‘Passing Storm’ is an example of how anxiety can hit us, but we know it’s just a moment that is passing.”
The new single “Night Flight” exemplifies Hempsey’s ability to blend heartfelt, poetic lyrics with soulful, emotive instrumentation. The track highlights his talents as both a performer and songwriter, capturing the emotional depth and artistic flair for which he has become known.
Gary Hempsey’s career has been marked by numerous accolades, including multiple awards for his previous single “Sinkhole.” This single won Best Song in a Music Video at the Cleveland Film Festival, was nominated for Best Music Video in Austin and San Francisco, and won Best Music Video at the Santa Cruz Film Festival. It also garnered the Song of the Year award at the Key West Music Awards in his hometown.
As a seasoned musician who has performed across the US before settling in Key West, Gary Hempsey has built a solid reputation for his talent and experience. His music has been featured on tastemaker music blogs and US and UK radio stations.
