New Artist: John Stammers
We live in a world where 'singer-songwriter' is a dirty word. Quite rightly too... every two bit git with an acoustic guitar is digging the sounds of James Blunt and Norah Jones... is there no saviour? Well, yes there is... and he goes by the name of John Stammers.
John's music harks back to a golden age of Brit folk music, encompassing sniffs of country and jazz, without ever going down the dreaded 'self indulgent' route. Tracks like 'Idle I'm' and 'Baby Dee' are some of the finest folk you'll hear in your life and you'll wonder why some doesn't invent a time-machine to take this cat back to '68 to get him a deal on Island pink. John is also a tour-de-force live (tour dates can be found in the link below) bringing a gentle hush to all that sit as his feet. John Stammers may look like an unassuming man, but he's a modern day shaman... a psychedelic troubadour... a man who will warm your soul through cold winter nights.
