PRESENTED BY TOM MILLETT
rrow in the Sky shot forth from the ashes of Till the Morning Comes, a popular rock outfit. TTMC parted ways during the summer of 2008, leaving its members disillusioned with the music making business. Many of the members were to be found floating to and fro on the musical waves of cover bands and alt-rock projects. At some point in early September, Shayne (founding member of TTMC) and Conor (off and on bass player) sat down with a couple of acoustic guitars and some Neil Young standards for a bit of a Jim jam. Within an hour or so they had mysteriously moved on to a new composition by Shayne, still in its early stages, entitled When I Awake. A microphone was set up and they recorded the first of many demos for a new group as yet untitled. Neither of these two stalwart musicians foresaw what was to come. That within mere days, fellow TTMC axe slinger, Brian, would be joining them on their new musical adventure. A week or so later with only two songs under their belt and a few Neil Young covers to fall back on, they took to the stage for their first gig. And so Arrow in the Sky was born. Since those hectic early days, the trio have been busy writing, rehearsing, recording and playing shows. Quietly building momentum as they go, with each fan converted spreading the word; Come see Arrow in the Sky If one were to look at the stage prior to an Arrow in the Sky show, one would expect to see at least ten men appear before you. When three men arrive on the stage surrounded by banjos, mandolins, basses, accordions, tin whistles, harmonicas, saxophones, trumpets, keys, various percussive items and of course acoustic guitars, an air of expectancy can be palpably felt in the audience. The audience stares, as if a physical arrow were approaching, not quite knowing where to stand or what to do, merely looking, listening and waiting. And when the music starts up and the voices rise in melodious harmony, the hush of the crowd lets one know that the arrow has hit its target.
