Sam Brookes

Live in the House favourite Sam Brookes, makes a long awaited return to Shrewsbury with his band, to perform from his now extensive songbook. Sam's style is reminiscent of Tim Buckley as he glides between the lower and upper registers of his four-octave range. 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 Sam Brookes began to write and perform while training as a gilder in his late father's workshop. 
Sam first received serious critical recognition when his self-released album, Kairos, being acclaimed by The Independent as one of the stand-out records of 2014 and tipped for the mercury nomination.  More recently ‘Black Feathers’ the title track of the album of the same name, was used in Sky’s biggest original Series ‘The Day of the Jackal’ starring Eddie Redmayne. 
The past couple of years has seen Sam collaborate with artist & producer Pete Josef releasing music as Supalung and he is also a lead figure in the highly successful, John Martyn Project.
