Merlin Swann

MERLIN SWANN Merlin Swann (Country-Pop, Folk-Pop, Soft-Rock/ Award Winning Singer Songwriters) Merlin Swann are multi instrumentalist Lesley Bullen and award winning songwriter Davy Riley. Lesley and Davy joined forces in the late 90's writing and performing their original material far and wide winning a number of song writing awards in the process. However in 2000 they decided to lock their large portfolio of songs away and go on separate musical journeys within the music industry, Lesley performing in Nashville, with her own band, and Davy writing material for other artists. Then in 2024, after nearly 25 years apart, the accomplished storytellers decided to get back together, dust the song catalogue down and re-record numerous songs, breathing new life into their old material. The proficient duo are now back in the studio writing new material and hopefully a new audience, on music platforms like spotify and youtube, will take pleasure in Merlin Swann's music just as they did all those years ago.
