Really excited to announce that “Anything But Easy” – the first single from my upcoming EP “Edge of Love” – will be released on 22nd February. I have been so happy with the response so far and all the airplay the single has already received. Thanks to all the radio shows that have play listed the track including Leader’s American Pie, Wrecking Ball Radio, Russ Hill Country, Acoustic Routes, Mystery Rain, The Hoedown, Country Rock Radio and Simply Country, who have made the song Track of the Month.
Produced by the brilliant Jose McGill from The Vagaband and featuring the wonderful dobro from Noel Dashwood of Alden, Patterson and Dashwood it’s mastered by Mikey Shaw Recording/Mix Engineer & Dub Cavern Productions at The Crunch – Recording Studio
“It has never been more easy to listen to an unknown tune. The song just invites you to listen and to keep on listening..A wonderful voice and great dobro playing.” Radio Compagnie, The Netherlands.

Thanks also to music blogs such as Building Our Own Nashville and Forever Country for spreading the word. Also W21 Music for a lovely review. More tour dates and festival announcements coming soon.

You will be able to pre-order the single via iTunes shortly. There’s also a sneak preview and download at my Bandcamp store – Pledgers, check your inboxes!

It’s been a very busy Summer already! I had so much fun performing a special acoustic concert in beautiful Pézenas, South of France with superb guitarist Luigi Notarangelo.

I have posted some more live videos on YouTube and also on Instagram. Here is “Call Me”

Following that I performed a lovely headline concert for my friends in Burnham Deepdale. Here is a cover of “Rocket Man” thanks to the audience for singing along!

Just this past weekend I enjoyed a beautiful sultry night playing Stradisphere Music Festival and it was lovely to meet the brilliant Mercury Music Prize winning Badly Drawn Boy ahead of his excellent headline set.

It was also a joy to perform “Courage” with my amazing student Breeze Redwine:

The day after, I had a great time at Maverick Festival seeing some memorable performances and soaking up the always warm, friendly atmosphere. I also had a lot of fun performing on the Jimmy Rodgers stage. Huge thanks to James Hodder and Tin Can Review for a lovely afternoon of live music.

One of my favourite acts of the weekend were Australia’s Lachlan Bryan and The Wildes – who I also saw perform last year – and I recently interviewed Lachlan for Songwriting Magazine ahead of their UK tour. It was great to catch up with them and also wonderful singer songwriter Imogen Clark. Here is us after their wonderful set in The Barn:
