SAM BROOKES - Black Feather (Sealed) (CD)

Sam Brookes 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 made him a rising figure in the alt-folk scene. Critical acclaim for his 2014 album Kairos came from publications like The Independent, Uncut, Mojo and Line of Best Fit. Radio support included multiple plays from Dermot O’Leary BBC Radio 2 and Folk Radio UK. In 2014 Sam Brookes toured the UK with Newton Faulkner and played Radio 2’s Live in Hyde Park. Now in demand as a vocalist and collaborator, the long list of artists Brookes has worked with includes Scott Matthews, Lucy Rose, Newton Faulkner and Basement Jaxx.
