LA born Liverpool based singer/songwriter Mackenzie James Cregan is set to release his next single ‘Woman from the East’ today (Friday 26th October).

‘Woman from the East’ portrays Mackenzie’s influence in 60s psychedelia while simultaneously maintaining a strong songwriting presence. The lyrically dark love song was co-produced by Jim Cregan, the legendary guitarist, and producer of the Rod Stewart band and Cockney Rebel.

Mackenzie’s love for music started at a very young age from being brought up in the entertainment capital of the world Los Angeles immersed in a highly creative family. Drawing influence from his father Jim Cregan and a star-studded array of other family friends who would visit the house, Mackenzie has always been immersed within an inspirational environment.

Woman from the East is a perfect example of a song that contains a strong essence of his Southern Californian roots, whilst containing various influences that Mackenzie came across in his musical upbringing. After exiting a psychedelic intro the song is driven by a tight rhythm section throughout, the song also includes a jazz-inspired sax solo backed by an electric tremolo guitar, along with a gypsy style acoustic rhythm guitar.
