Oh no. Another singer-songwriter-guitarist?

In this case he’s actually damn good, like a beacon of hope and potential in an overcrowded field of weeds.

…oh and he plays bass guitar with Luke Haines when the former Auteurs/Black Box Recorder man performs as The Luke Haines Power Trio. That put your snobbery aside, for a moment at least?

His style of guitar playing has been described as the admittedly rather unusual style of lap tapping, allowing him to tap, slap, and strum his guitar. On the single ‘Feet Don’t Fail Me Now’ not only this but the use of the choir was something I wasn’t expecting. And it absolutely rules. This is not your usual ten-a-penny singer-songwriter, thank God.

His new album is entitled Many Fish To Fry and it’s available on the rather unusually titled Sandwich Emporium record label.

And he’s coming to Scotland!
