'In My Hands' is an album inspired by Wayne's personal soul-searching
journey into an unknown multi-cultured world.
An eclectic array of finely crafted songs, this album offers us a glimpse,
through the eyes of a wandering musician, of a vibrant and colourful
existence.
A journey that begins at the tender age of eighteen in his hometown in
Offaly. Nothing more than a passport in his pocket and a will to travel,
Wayne packs his satchel and guitar and heads off into the horizon.
With a curious mind and fearless determination, Wayne soon develops
an extraordinary ability to find a home wherever his heart tends to
dwell. Adapting himself to new environments, and even acquiring
multi-lingual skills. Now the platform was set which would enable him
to refine his musical ambitions and lay testimony to Mother Nature’s
unforeseen beauty.
Whether it was living in a Peniche on the river Seine, or busking in the
streets and Metros of Paris... Sailing the Mediterranean sea off the
golden coast of the Riviera, onwards across the Italian Pontine islands,
or playing guitar around a campfire in the vast landscapes of Andalusia
in Spain and even surfing the swells off the coast of Hawaii. Each of
these amazing memories became fuel for Wayne's creative and artistic
mind. And now, what was once a blank canvas, is transformed into a
wonderful collage of musical endeavour.
Quite an adventurous existence to say the least. So allow your
imagination to be swept away, which will leave you with a vivid sense
of fulfilment, hope for a better future and even the desire to travel on
your own quest for self-awareness and belonging.

Wayne Brennan's enigmatic craft with an instrument is nothing
short of astonishing. Of course it helps to have a musical
background but he is self-educated in the art of
instrumentation, song writing and singing, which is profound
considering his vast eclectic style.
Without doubt Wayne's travelling experiences have left a deep
impression on his psyche, however, he does acknowledge his
creative musical influences... from the likes of Hendrix,
Knopfler, Marley, Clapton, Paco De Lucia and the Gypsy Kings,
to name but a few. Managing to incorporate a classical vibe,
with a hint of flamenco, reggae and rock, lightly garnished
with Wayne's own secret ingredient, we are left with a
mouth-watering plethora of style and a sure-fire recipe that will
stir your musical senses.
It's not surprising then to learn that word is filtering through
the Irish and International music scene as Wayne has been
receiving frequent invites to Special Guest on stage with many
renowned artists, such as The Gypsy Kings, Alabama 3, Brian
Kennedy, Aslan, Natty Wailer, the incomparable Jack L and The
Coronas. And even modestly experiencing Top 20 chart
success with his Independently released single 'And I Love' A
firm favourite with legendry DJ Larry Gogan.
Indeed the future looks bright. But this awe-inspiring debut
album 'In My Hands' is a sincere portrayal of a man who
shapes his own destiny. And for Wayne, life certainly is,
in his hands!
