Back in March this year Sam Brookes was our Artist of the Month, the same month in which he self-released ‘Kairos’. This Is The Place is the latest single to be released from the album, as well as being our Song of the Day we also have the pleasure of premièring Sam’s new video in which he heads out on a beautiful woodland trail. Watch it below:
“If his style betrays certain classic influences, with the likes of Bert Jansch and Davy Graham, Joni Mitchell and more picked up from his father, Kairos is anything but a pastiche of folk greats. His voice certainly has something of the slippery, multi-octave reach of Tim Buckley and the gentle blur of John Martyn, enhanced by a near-field intimacy in the recording. Yet at the same time you can also picture him, head back, eyes closed letting it rip. Boy does his voice soar when he does.” Simon Holland – Folk Radio UK
Sam is currently on tour in Ireland with a whole heap of UK gig and festival dates ahead including the Secret Garden Party with the brilliant Hot Feet on 25th July. Head to his website to find out more: http://www.sambrookes.com
