Syncing & Soundtracks

Warren Malone is originally from Manchester England. His early influences were the classic singers of the 1950s— Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Charlie Rich, and Hank Williams. Soul singers Sam Cooke and Van Morrison also played a huge role in his development, as did folk musicians Norman Blake and Bill Monroe.

His first American home was San Francisco 1993-1998, where after playing every coffee shop/open mic/street corner, he got to make an album “Spit ’n’ Kisses” at famed Russian Hill Recording studio, which included performances from the Tori Amos and Linda Perry bands. That album led to an extended run of shows at the Fillmore between acts like Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams, Son Volt, and many others.

He has opened for and shared the stage with many folk legends, including Bert Jansch, Rosanne Cash, Chip Taylor, and Louden Wainwright III, and pop stars like David Gray.

TriStar Pictures are currently producing a movie “Mobius” based on his love affair with Astrophysicist Janna Levin, directed by Stephen Moyer (True Blood). The film covers Warren’s time as an illegal immigrant in San Francisco and follows him to England and back to the USA.

Currently living in New York, he has released a string of solo albums including “And the Ants Ate The Bee,” “The Great Big Bubblegum Heartbreak,” and “Whole Life Blues,” which have cemented his place in the New York music scene as a singer with an unparalleled sound and an enthralling storyteller through song.

His new record “JUNKYARD” was produced by Kyle Lacy at Hive Mind Studios with Billy Aukstik engineering. The band did 5 songs directly to tape all within 2 1/2 hours, and final vocals and overdubs were recorded in a second session. 8 of Warren’s newest original songs written since the onset of the pandemic are captured here in a live setting along with his trademark version of the classic blues song “Born Under a Bad Sign.”
