Here's a demo of a song I co-wrote with Francesca Evans for her last CD.  I think it turned out pretty cool.  I played all the instruments and sang the vocals.  Tim Ponzek arranged and played the synth string parts.  Just click on the song title below and it will open up the soundcloud page with the song.

 SAPPHIRES IN THE SKY (BREEN/EVANS)

Sapphires In the Sky
(McDermid-Evans/Breen)

When the stars light up the blackness
Like Sapphires in the Sky
Legend is they are the souls
Of children who have died
They don’t show it on the TV
They don’t show it on the news
Is it just too hard to face it
When these children are abused?

CHORUS
THEY ARE SAPPHIRES IN THE SKY
THEY ARE THE SHADOWS IN THE CORNERS
OF OUR EYES

From the young boys of Rwanda
Forced to take the gun
To the street girls of Calcutta
Sold into the slum
From the diamonds in Uganda
Mined with childrens’ hands
To the trafficking in India
Laos and Sudan
CHORUS
THEY ARE SAPPHIRES IN THE SKY
THEY ARE THE SHADOWS IN THE CORNERS
OF OUR EYES

It happens all around us
We just don’t know it’s there
And we’ve got to get together
Let the children know we care

CHORUS
BEFORE THEY’RE SAPPHIRES IN THE SKY
SHADOWS IN THE CORNERS
OF OUR EYES
BEFORE THEY’RE SAPPHIRES IN THE SKY
SHADOWS IN THE CORNERS
OF OUR EYES

What Reviewers Are Saying:

 His vocal delivery is warm and inviting. His story lines are conversations about life and observations on its living moments. “Baby’s Comin’ in on a Plane” lets you feel the excitement of the guy at the gate whose heart beats a little faster with each departing passenger, “Cristina Valencia” slips south of the border to plead to the lady in the title for a little love light from her dark eyes and “Carnival Queen” walks the midway with love at your side."  -Alternate Root Magazine.

"It's always a pleasure to hear an independant CD that delivers the goods past the first cut and this release from Breen is such an example."   Sing Out Magazine

"A consistent quality rolls right through the third solo album and instro debut from singer-songwriter Mike Breen. On Mescal Mary & Other B Bender Guitar Instrumentals, Breen performs masterfully on the B and G bender guitar, a guitar device invented by one time Byrds guitarists Clarence White and Gene Parsons to resemble the sounds of the pedal steel guitar. Breen mixes his tasty electric work with his added banjo, mandolin and flatpicking guitar sounds."  " 20th Century Guitar by Robert Siverstein
