With shades of Nick Drake, and John Martyn, he intertwines a darker folk Americana edge to his sound. As well as writing and preforming solo, he also fronts UK band Autumn Red

                                                                                                                                                                                      His live performances see him effortlessly flip between a banjo and an acoustic guitar, layering his sound with haunting church organs, Hurdy Gurdy samples, while stomping on a bass drum creating a huge live sound that can stand up against any full band. His solo efforts occasionally see a guest spot from talented long time Autumn Red guitarist Mikey Foulerton on acoustic guitar. Along with Cello and Double bass to complete the sound. 

                                                                                                                                                                                      “Dead Fools Gold” has sold in huge numbers and has had a big influence and impact on artists in the folk/Americana scene. With infamous producer John Wood, responsible for producing the likes of Pink Floyd, John Martyn and Nick Drake albums to name but a few, a new EP is already in the making. The future is looking very exciting for such an enthralling and captivating artist.

It brought up interesting contrasts and similarities between what I commonly hear in all of these genres. There’s an anger, cynicism and warning in these songs.
