LONDON, UK (Top40 Charts/ Quite Great Communications) Si Cranstoun, his new single 'Coupe De Ville' is set for release in November. Si exploded on to the rock & roll scene in 2011 with his fast paced jive Dynamo, which has an infectious groove that brings a new dimension to the beats that hark back to the golden era of Rock'n'Roll. Si was trained to the level of 'Grand Master' in art of songwriting by Grammy Award winning Graham Lyle (who penned hits for Michael Jackson, Tina Turner). Having previously supported
Jamiroquai and been compared vocally to both
Sam Cooke and Jackie Wilson, Cranstoun's passion for music sees him write, produce and record all of his own tracks, much like the bandleaders of those glory times gone by. Si is soon to be headlining at Viva Las Vegas, Rockabilly Weekend alongside the legendary THE BLUE CAPS and THE CLEFTONES.
