Sam Carter - Vivid, Narrative Driven Songwriting.

Over the course of his fifteen-year career, Sam Carter has earned a reputation for vivid, narrative-driven song writing. A highly regarded instrumentalist to boot, Sam is renowned by many as "the finest English-style fingerpicking guitarist of his generation" (Jon Boden) and has been described as having a "killer voice" by Ivor Novello-winning musician Nitin Sawhney.

His impressive back catalogue and captivating live shows attest to his ability to bring together a diverse set of influences from English folksong and American shape note singing through to hard rock. Sam has appeared on national TV, won a BBC Folk Award, and toured the world, sharing stages with folk's leading lights, including Richard Thompson, Eliza Carthy, Martin Simpson and Bella Hardy.
