GERRY CINNAMON

Gerry Cinnamon is a Scottish singer-songwriter who performs with an acoustic guitar and a harmonica. He has produced 3 albums known as the: erratic cinematic, Kampfire Vampire and The Bonny. The more well known and favoured songs have come in the more recent years similar to the idea of Fontaines DC in that they have only enter the scene of music in the last 5-10 years. Born on the first of October in 1984 Gerry cinnamon first started producing music in 2005 and has progressed ever since.

ALBUM COVERS

As stated earlier Gerry Cinnamon has produced music videos of live festival instead of studio made music video, this is further repeated in the album covers where he has created an album of just songs which were performed at Hampden Park live. These album covers are more sinister compared to Fontaines and therefore proves that there is a difference in the style of music even if the genre is the same.

The music videos which Gerry cinnamon has produced come from his live performances, this is a newer and more unique style similar to one produced in the 1960 where the music video is about the music and the making of it, however this live performance cover the creation of the music as well as the audience reacting to it which has been able to gain the attention of the online audience as it seems like they are missing out on the performance, this is a way of marketing music for others as well as producing the music which means more audiences can be reached at one time.

His Instagram account consists photos of festival performances as well as other performances such as festivals which he will be playing at in the future. He also has videos of behind the scene performances and studio music makes.
