*JOE BAYLISS
"I love to listen to people who are a little bit different, a little edgy. My music is not easy to label and I like it! Performing at folk clubs and festivals - but not sure I am truly folk, when I throw in some up tempo, jazz/soul influenced songs."
A singer songwriter who absolutely writes from the soul.
"Telling a story that people can relate to, is so important to me with my songs, but what comes first, every time, is the sound - always searching for open chords, dissonance, resonance, tension... and from that comes an atmosphere, a direction of feeling that the song needs to take, that almost describes the lyrics that follow."
"I'm based in rural Staffordshire and drag my guitar around the region and the UK, anywhere that will listen! One man and a guitar often get labelled as 'folk' 'indie folk' 'neu folk' but whether its slow ballads or uptempo rhythmic songs they are usually confessionary, or observational but always contemporary in lyrical content…"
"I love the music of Nick Drake, Scott Matthews, Damien Rice, Tom Baxter, John Martyn, Bon Iver, and any other great story tellers who like to mix up their sounds in a way, that's a little off the norm and I hope they have passed on some goods vibes to me…"
What they say:-
"..If you're never heard Joe sing , then you should make the effort and go to one of his gigs, his soft mellow speaking voice transcends into his vocal performance, to soft, yet punctuated high tenor that's barely a whisper , but can be heard in the back of the room , and in contrast, his baritone - vibrato rich and full, resounds in your chest as you listen ...A headline act that can grace any venue in the country" - Birch & Stock folk club
"A wonderful vocalist and sensitive guitar player with original songs complimenting his style. His amiable chat between songs made it feel like a carpet had been placed on the stone floor! The audience went extra quiet during his set and he got loud applause for a lovely song about a homeless guy and a slightly quirky song about Rose Tyler from Dr.Who. Methinks he was in love with her..!" - Doug Armstrong - sofa sessions
"..possesses a great talent with a relaxing easy genre. Lovely vocals and well written songs ... Great musician and a fine man!" - Andy Plimmer - Chase Radio
"..confident, easy style ... with subjects drawn from life portrayed with feeling and uniqueness ... a welcome visitor to our club" - Will Morgan - Brewood Acoustic Club
