Merlin Swann
Merlin Swann is the creative partnership of multi-instrumentalist Lesley Bullen and award-winning songwriter Davy Riley.
The two first joined forces in the late 1990s, writing and performing a rich catalogue of Country/Rock and Folk-Pop songs. Their music took them far and wide, earning them multiple songwriting awards along the way and building a strong creative connection.
In 2000, however, their journey took a different turn. With both artists pursuing separate paths within the music industry, their shared catalogue was set aside—Lesley continuing as a performer, while Davy focused on writing for other artists.
Nearly 25 years later, in 2024, fate brought them back together. Reunited by their shared musical roots, they returned to the studio to rediscover their past work—breathing new life into their original songs while also creating fresh material for a new chapter.
