About this Event
Sam Brookes is a Bristol-based alternative folk artist whose distinctive voice frequently draws comparisons with Jeff and Tim Buckley as he glides between the lower and upper registers of his four-octave range. It has landed him features and collaborations with artists as diverse as Lucy Rose and Basement Jaxx. His pure voice, evocative lyrics and soaring melodies have cemented him as a respected figure in the alt-folk scene as an artist & collaborator.
Inspired by the British and American folk revivalists of the 60's, a sixteen-year-old Brookes began to write and perform while training as a gilder in his late father's workshop.
Brookes had begun to receive serious critical recognition when he self-released album, Kairos, being acclaimed by The Independent as one of the stand-out records of 2014 and tipped for the Mercury nomination.
Following the release of the album ‘Black Feathers’ in 2020, the title track was recently used in Sky’s biggest original Series ‘The Day of the Jackal’ starring Eddie Redmayne. Music Supervised by Emmy Nominated Catherine Greeves (Baby Reindeer, Killing Eve)
Black Feathers was produced by grammy nominated producer Dom Monks (Big Thief, Laura Marling, Nick Cave). Brookes was accompanied on the album by a wealth of talented musicians which included Ethan Johns, Neil Cowley, Nick Pini, Daisy Palmer, Sam Sweeney & Rob Pemberton
The past couple of years has seen Brookes collaborate with artist & producer Pete Josef releasing music as Supalung.
