Liam Docherty “Gemini Rising”

Inspired by Greek Mythology of the Gemini star constellation, “Gemini Rising” is an emotive a blues track that tackles deep feelings around separation, loss, longing and love. With stirring riffs bleeding into mood-filled soundscapes, “Gemini Rising” feels both imaginative and intimately profound. Even though the darkness can feel twice as big, Liam Docherty delivers hope and light at the end of the tunnel, for the two separated, even though time may seem harsh, they are destined to overcome all odds and reunite.

“Gemini Rising” is a song about reunion and finding each other again. Love lights up against the bleakness and fills your heart with warmth. First to release from his upcoming album of the same name, the track is a gentle and impressive tease to his highly anticipated alum.

Based on Vancouver Island, Docherty has been performing publicly since 7. He has performed and opened for Terry Robb, Ken Hamm, Mississippi Delta Bluesman Terry “Harmonica” Bean, and BC Hall of Fame Inductee Doug Cox, among others.

Melody and received national coverage, high praises across the globe, and a nomination for New Act of The Year at the Maple Blues Awards and launched Docherty as the youngest person to ever be nominated of the awards.
