Very excited to be playing my next London show at the Green Note in Camden. It's a beautiful little room that I've wanted to play in for a long time, and I'm going to be bringing along my folky 4-piece set up to mark the occasion. Hope you can make it!
Glad to announce that 'New York Minute' is finally out in the world and available to stream on your platform of choice! You can follow this link and stream it, right this very second:
Also really glad to have the official video out in on the web, and really chuffed with the lovely premiere and write up that Folk Radio UK gave it. You can check out the video here:
Wowzers. What an incredible few nights it was over the past week. I want to thank each and every one of you who came out in Bristol, Brighton and London to make them such fun shows. Me and the band had and absolute BLAST playing for you all. Thanks for being a part of it.
And in the meantime I have another date for your diaries: May 16th @ The Green Note in London's Camden town. A beautiful small venue where I'm going to be bringing my 4-piece set up. "Intimate" is a word that's overused when describing small venues... but it really sums up this room. Small, beautiful, candlelit space with amazing resonance, perfect for listening to songs in. Can't wait for this one.
A few months back we were lucky enough to be asked to play a live session for Woodburner at Dalston Eastern Curve Garden. It's a rendition of a new song that's going to be on the forthcoming record. It's called "Gabriel".
Super excited to be hopping the pond this October to play a few dates with my friend Daisy Chute!
Especially pumped for the show in Nashville on the 23rd, which will be the first leg of a transatlantic exchange myself and my produce Matt Odmark have been cooking up...
If you're in Nashville on the 23rd, you can get your free tickets here:
Hey everyone! Hope you're enjoying the summer, wherever you are. Pleased to report that I've just come back from Nashville where I've been back in the Studio at Gray Matters, recording the final couple of tunes for the new album and adding a few finishing touches to the ones we've already got... There's going to be another single and a brand new video released from the album in October.
In the meantime I've also got a UK tour coming up... dates to be released soon! Can't wait to get back on the road... watch this space!
So excited to announce that the brand new video for "Lightning Strikes" will be with you in a matter of days!
Still got a few advance tickets left for the single launch show and video premiere on November 8th at Paper Dress Vintage, which will also feature performances from Fender Undiscovered Artist of the Year 2017 Hattie Briggs and Thomas James Smith.
So excited to announce that my new single "Lightning Strikes" will be released on November 9th! There's also going to be a brand new video directed by John Stow of Intraspectrum Studios coming out in the weeks before the release.

So excited to let you know that "Lightning Strikes", the first single from my new album recorded in Nashville Tennessee will be released in November of this year!
