Maria Lynch Time Between Times

Maria Lynch is a singer with 'a voice as clear as a bright spring sky' whilst her debut album 'Time Between Times' has been described as 'a collection of songs full of warmth and optimism'. Maria was able to record her debut album 'Time Between Times' when friends and family heard the songs at live gigs. They invested their time, money and faith into the production of a fifteen-track disc that would capture the delectable voice and powerful song writing talent that Maria possesses.

Maria's influences are easy to track - she first picked up a guitar at the age of sixteen after hearing Tracy Chapman's 'Talkin' About a Revolution'. Other influences include Van Morrison, Sheryl Crow, Counting Crows, Billy Bragg as well as the jazz greats she studied at Leeds College of Music. These influences surface on 'Time Between Times'.

The fifteen tracks on the album display a breadth of musical diversity from the life-affirming 'Days of Sunshine' to the torch-song-esque 'Feel You Close'. Each song stands alone as a statement of what it is to be human - to have hopes, aspirations, and ambition - laced with the simple emotions of joy, sadness, love and anger.

The album has received much critical acclaim from listeners in the UK. One critic said 'Time Between Times demonstrates a great talent from a singer/songwriter that - given justice in the world - would be a household name by now'. Interest in Maria and her music is growing with albums being shipped to the USA and Australia. Radio stations around the world are also requesting copies. All this, of course, helps to 'spread the word'.
