Sam Carter "How The City Sings" Trio

Sam Carter has earned a reputation for vivid, narrative-driven songwriting and captivating live performances. He is a highly-regarded instrumentalist, renowned by many as 'the finest English-style fingerpicking guitarist of his generation' (Jon Boden). Over the past fifteen years, Sam has toured the world, won a BBC Folk Award and made appearances on national TV, including a spellbinding performance on Later… with Jools Holland. Sam has recorded and performed with some of folk’s leading lights, including Richard Thompson, Eliza Carthy, Martin Simpson and Nancy Kerr.

For the London leg of the tour, in addition to showcasing the songs of Home Waters, Sam will revisit his third studio album How The City Sings as part of the London Unwrapped season at Kings Place. Sam will be joined by Matt Ridley on double bass and Evan Jenkins on drums.
