Additional Info:
Yorkshires CHRIS BRAIN has carved his place firmly into the contemporary folk scene following his highly-regarded first two albums, Bound to Rise (2022) and Steady Away (2023).Garnering acclaim from the likes of Cerys Matthews (BBC 6 Music) and Mark Radcliffe (BBC Radio 2), he has since shared the stage with iconic acts like Robert Plant, Jacqui McShee and Martin Simpson.With the release of his third much-anticipated album, New Light, in Spring 2025, he will be embarking on a UK/Ireland solo tour. New Light brings a refreshingly contemporary sound as Chris contemplates transformation, nostalgia and tenderness in times of vulnerability - all woven around his familiar gestures towards the natural world.From sublimely-deployed strings and dappling piano to rhythmic percussion, the albums arrangements are perfectly wrapped around Brains honeyed vocals, anchoring fingerpicked guitar and persuasive melodies.Recorded in various locations, from his allotment shed to The Nave Studios, New Light embodies the expanded parameters that his sound has reached. Both intimate and expansive, New Light expresses a surety of Chris Brains song-writing abilities with the albums imagery and melodies dwelling long after the music ends.There are shades of the master Ralph Mctell here and I can think of no greater compliment than thatLove it! -Mark Radcliffe , BBC 2 Folk ShowYorkshire Post - Daily Express - Shindig Magazine - Songlines Magazine -
