Glenn Kimpton

His ability to slip unseen from folky pastoralism to improvised experimentation puts Glenn Kimpton at the forefront of the current group of British acoustic guitarists taking their inspiration from foundational American exponents like Robbie Basho and John Fahey. He is in good company with those names, and he doesn’t seem out of place. Small Show is assured and highly rewarding.

Glenn Kimpton has quietly carved out a niche as one of the most inventive, intuitive and accomplished guitarists in the business. His latest offering, ‘Ruminate!’, is beautiful, even slightly intoxicating…another assured instalment in Glenn Kimpton’s increasingly impressive catalogue.

Serious Glimmers is the latest offering from Bristol-based guitarist Glenn Kimpton. He is never afraid to navigate the more complex waters of experimentalism and improvisation; often complex and always highly rewarding, it is the perfect introduction to his art.

Glenn Kimpton releases two new long-form improvised guitar pieces ‘He Thinks I am the Wisest Man’, recorded in a Bristol allotment on a beautiful late summer afternoon which have been mastered by Nick Jonah Davis. Don’t miss him at Friendly Records’ upcoming Winter Guitar Jamboree with C Joynes and Paul Bradley.

Glenn Kimpton and Paul Bradley (Three Cane Whale) share their thoughts on their first recording as ‘raga’merikana’ – spacious, reflective, modal, humble, raga-like, gently Americana-like and always improvised.
