A true guitar man, his elaborate tunings, persuasive rhythms and ambient sound design low beneath a visceral lyrical style weaned from the happy psychedelia of the 60's folk revival and soulful oblivion of 90's Pacific North West.
Chris Cleverley
Chris Cleverley's trademark solo live sound has been likened to the magnitude of a full orchestra, only to moments later pull audiences to the very edge of their seats to soak in the delicate spider-like touch of his fingerstyle guitar playing. Chris has gone from strength to strength since winning Bristol Folk Festival's 2014 Isambard Folk Award, joining the ranks of previous winners such as BBC folk award nominees Josienne Clarke and Ben Walker, followed up by a memorable performance at 2014's Stroud Folk Festival. Chris has stirred up a formidable word-of-mouth reputation. Visceral and unflinching, Chris’s songs tackle themes of climate/nuclear emergency, pervasive artificial intelligence, institutionalised racism and mass displacement of people.
