Cian Nugent is a guitarplayer from Dublin, Ireland whose music combines personal passions, such as suburban/coastal blues, traditional musics, 1960s & ’70s singer-songwriters, psychedelic rock, jazz ambitions, 20th century composition and the Takoma school of guitar music into a deeply personal style. His music boasts an orchestrated and fully instrumented sound that is playful and eerie at the same time. Over the past year a new band Cian Nugent and The Cosmos has developed with drummer David Lacey, viola player Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh (who both played on Doubles) and bassist Conor Lumsden. New material shows the added influence of the eternal flow of transnational desert blues, psychedelic thoughts on rock and the campaign to legalise jamming.
