Bradley Skaught Biography

Bradley Skaught is one of the most popular and richest Songwriter who was born on June 2, 1976 in Tacoma, Washington, United States. Skaught and Robertson Both guitarists, named their new group in honor of the jazz tune of 1926 Bye Bye Blackbird. They also recruited drummer Lenny Gill and bass player William Duke online. The new group was formed when, Skaught and Robertson decided to go with an “back-to-basics approach” based on “fundamental things we loved as listeners – songwriting, harmony, cool guitar parts and sounds.”

The group’s debut album called Honeymoon was released in the year 2006. Skaught later described Honeymoon being “a bit embarrassing to me, although I like a couple songs and I love the sound… It works to me as a kind of statement of intent, but it makes me squirm to hear it.”

In 2008, the group released their first full-length album, Houses and Homes, on the American Dust label in 2008. Rock critic Richie Unterberger likened Houses and Homes to British Invasion bands, with “tunes and [Skaught’s] upper- register vocals [that] often echo some of the poppier Beatlesque groups of yore,” praising the album’s sensitive lyrics and “upbeat guitar-oriented pop/rock with a tinge of the bittersweet.” Skaught called Houses and Homes “satisfyingly better than Honeymoon to me…. We experimented a lot – goofy stuff with tape echoes and lots of layers.” The bluegrass-tinged song “The Ghosts Are All Right” was featured in the book Music: What Happened?, which named it as a favorite for that year, describing the song as “a Byrds-worthy meditation on history and responsibility in a local community.”

Before recording 2011’s Fixed Hearts, bass player William Duke, who had previously shared songwriting responsibilities with Skaught, left the band. Skaught stated that writing all of the songs on Fixed Hearts was “liberating” and that the album benefited from his resulting confidence, and from the contributions of new bass player Aaron Rubin and producer Paul Tyler. The title was a reference to drummer Lenny Gill’s then-recent heart surgery, as well as to the protagonists of the songs, who emerge from heartbreak with their own hearts repaired.

The year 2005 saw Skaught along with Robertson broke up Belle Da Gama and formed The Bye Bye Blackbirds.

Reviewing Fixed Hearts, AllMusic’s Jack Rabid wrote that the album had the “brightly ringing, polished/unthreatening, anodyne” 1960s pop vibe of a “groovy guitar pop party” where “nice guys finish first and get the girl in the finale.” The review noted The Skaught’s “easy sincerity and the group’s harmonic gifts,” accepting the “Panglossian panoply of this period from when they were pups, cutting in country-pop, folk, and–heck yeah–a horns-laden opener with bits of Memphis soul.” The critique of the album in The Aquarian Weekly cited the “general giddiness of the album,” shifting from to a “nostalgic and swinging vibe” through tracks with an “country-pop sound” and “pulsing drums,” and finally, the “peaceful” final tracks.

Skaught was a well-known an accomplished vocalist and guitarist when he formed the group from Oakland Belle Da Gama, which included Ian Robertson. Belle Da Gama’s name Belle Da Gama was taken from the Salman Rushdie novel The Moor’s Final Sigh. Belle Da Gama recorded one album, Garden Abstract, released in 2001 by 125 Records.

Apology Accepted, a download-only EP released in 2008, included “Monster Eyes,” a song that was co-written by Skaught with novelist Jonathan Lethem. Based upon “lyrical fragments” of Lethem’s novel You Don’t Love Me Yet, the song was performed by the band, with Lethem, at a reading from the book. The title track of Apology Accepted was a cover of a song by The Go-Betweens.
