“Those who have yet to latch onto them are surely missing something special....Indie, powerpop, accomplished harmonies, alt.country tendencies. What’s not to love?” The Herald newspaper

Glasgow-based Starry Skies have just released their fourth studio album ‘Small Wonders’ via Fox Star Records, following up 2020’s long player ‘Do It With Love’. With a brilliant mix of classic rock, power pop and folk pop, the band is back with a crowdfunded album of shimmering delights.
Early reviews of the album have dubbed this hearty 10-track collection a "masterpiece" and their strongest work yet. Recorded in 2021, these songs encourage folks to find the positive wherever we can.
Shaped by personal encounters with music icons Nina Simone, Iggy Pop and Chuck Berry, Warren McIntyre (a.k.a. Warren Starry Sky) founded the band in 2014 to encourage the proliferation of positive, hopeful music. Today, Starry Skies is made up of McIntyre, Jenny Lunan, Heather Phillips, Sophie Pragnell, Johnny Rooney and Adam Scott, who come from various parts of Scotland, England and Australia. Over the years, they have supported Snow Patrol, Belle and Sebastian, The Vaselines and Teenage Fanclub.
“Beautiful, exciting and timeless” ~ Red Handed Magazine
