MARTIN HARLEY

** This is a partly seated / partly standing gig. Limited seating available on a first arrival basis. **

Martin Harley is celebrated as “One of the UK’s finest contemporary roots musicians” (Guitarist Magazine) and a “slide guitar master” (Roots Magazine). For three decades, Harley has captivated audiences worldwide, recording albums in Texas, Nashville, and Wales. His spellbinding slide guitar style and ability to blend Americana, Blues, and Folk have earned him acclaim, including nominations for the Americana Music Awards Instrumentalist of the Year and Best Acoustic Blues Artist.
Harley’s intimate and dynamic solo performances, paired with sold-out shows at iconic venues like London’s Union Chapel, and appearances at major festivals including Glastonbury and the Royal Albert Hall, showcase his remarkable talent. His music has featured on hit TV shows like The Vampire Diaries and Banshee and in live segments on PBS’s Music City Roots and VH1’s Big Morning Buzz.
His collaborations with luminaries like Jerry Douglas and Grammy winner Derek Mixon have further solidified his place in the roots music scene. Albums like Static in the Wires reached #2 on the iTunes Blues charts, and his latest release, Morning Sun, recorded at Airtight Studios with producer Nigel Stonier, features inventive percussion by Michael Blair and contributions from UK Americana standouts Mark Lewis and Chris (CJ) Hillman.
With heartfelt songwriting and masterful musicianship, Harley remains a pioneering force in contemporary roots music.
