In I’m Not Sleepin, by the Irish rock band Epic Shadow, frontman Noel Alfred has penned ten contemporary songs that resonate with the complexities of life in Ireland and beyond. Bandmates Tom Shinny (guitar), Ciarán Mullins (bass), and Brendan Heffernan (drums) have joined in crafting the sound of this music during two decades of playing the bars of western Ireland. Unlike a number of contemporary groups, this is a real band and not just a singer and some sidemen. In spite of the splendid variety of songs on this album, there is a strong consistent identity that says, “This is Epic Shadow.” Yeah, just for some added craic, they are joined on a few tunes by Nashville legends Bobby Ogdin on keyboards and Bruce Dees (guitars and vocals), Kirk Beasley (bass), and the amazing Billy Contreras (fiddle).
