“A beautiful guitar solo, a pleading chorus, a spacey
Western twang.” – Buzzbands.la
“Nuance and beauty. Provides an immersive and
mind-altering experience.” – Culture

The story of Shane
O’Malley Firek, the single constant member of The Ferdy Mayne, is one of journeys – physical, spiritual, and a combination
of the two. Firek’s latest journey is a US tour in support of his just-released
debut album, out now via Greater Peaks
Records. Hear the latest single “Slipping
On Dimes” via The
Bluegrass Situation.
Joining Firek
in The Ferdy Mayne band on this tour
is Nick Zomparelli on Lead Guitar (Duane The Jet Black Eel, NODATA, Daughters Of Eternity), Nick
Rapley on Drums (Ben Clark and The
Long Shadows), and David Van Witt
on Bass (Sidewalk Dave, Hnry Flwr). Van Witt’s Hnry Flwr
will also open some dates. See above for full itinerary and remaining dates.
“I was going through massive change when I was writing
this material,” Firek explains of the
new album. “Before my sobriety, I was completely insane, in and out of jail,
losing friends and putting myself in considerable debt,” he confesses. “I quit
drinking around the time I began to perform in New York, and I’ve been sober a
little over three years now.”
Free of the law, and free of the hold of alcohol, Firek accomplishes on this album what
any artist hopes to who has lived through pretty good and really bad, and that
is to fully inform the work with experience. Firek is most proud of his lyrics, and unlike some songwriters, he
fights hard for them, sometimes over the course of many years.
“When I write songs, it takes a very long time. Very
rarely do songs come quickly, aside from a few on this record,” he says. One
that came more easily is the album’s first single “Define My Name,” premiered
exclusively via Buzzbands.la,
the music discovery website focused on Los Angeles, where Firek recently relocated from Brooklyn. Culture
Collide recently premiered
what they’ve called the “immersive and mind-altering” music video for the tune.
The self-titled debut album by The Ferdy Mayne is out now via Greater
Peaks Records. Shane O’Malley Firek
is available for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom
at Fanatic for more information.
