WebsiteDespite not yet having an album released, Samuel Brookes was given the role of opening for Ray Davies during the first few dates of his UK Tour. This was to be the last opening slot, as Sam was off into the studio to cut that debut album following the performance. Playing such a large venue might be intimidating for many new acts, but this performance had a quietly confident aura.
The music is a typical singer songwriter mix of blues and folk, delivered with a calmness that enables the lyrics to soak into the night, and the fingerpicking guitar style to resonate. Only on the last track Breathe Me In is the delivery more urgent, the guitar is attacked and the vocal talent let loose.
