MATINEE CONCERTAlt-Folk songwriters and fingerstyle guitarists Tobias Ben Jacob and Chris Cleverley join forces for a one-off special afternoon of solo and duo performances.
CHRIS CLEVERLEY: Chris Cleverley was born under a solstice moon, in the honeysuckle mysticism of a late 80s Midsummer. As his fledgling days unfurled, the symbolic sounds of ‘Hunky Dory’, ‘Graceland’ and ‘Ladies of The Canyon’ echoed from the woodchip walls of the South Birmingham terrace where he was raised; quiet and curious, saturnine and shy.
This winter, Cleverley tours his 5th release, ‘In the Shadow of John the Divine’; a Christmas record for the head-spinning modern age, celebrating this curious, magical season, in all its joyful and sad contradictions. Come bask in an exciting new body of work, showcasing the intricate fingerstyle and ambient sound design of this true guitar-man, inspired by the Lo-fi American Greats, Elliott Smith & Sufjan Stevens. A curious tapestry weaved from the hazy psychedelia of the 60s folk revival and the soulful oblivion of the 90s Pacific Northwest.
